Finally the masses of fans who’ve been awaiting Heath Ledger’s final performance can see him in action. The international trailer for The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus has been released.

The film is directed by Terry Gilliam, and stars Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell in he role of “Tony.” After watching this video for a second time, I think it’s hilarious how the character is played by an American, Australian, a Brit and an Irishman. Oh the magic of movie making!

As many of you already know, The Dark Knight was not Ledger’s last movie. All that bullshit you heard about the Joker being the end of him is completely false. His last film, which has yet to be released will be Terry Gilliam’s, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Here is a new photo just released on /film of Ledger in the movie.
