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.

Looks like Ocasr-winning writer William Monaham has added a few more jewels to his crown (aka A-listers to his film). Keira Knightley and Colin Farrell have both offically signed on to join David Thewlis, Anna Friel, Ben Chaplin and Ray Winstone in Monaham’s upcoming directorial debut, London Boulevard.
The movie is based on Ken Bruen’s novel of the same name, and centers on a London criminal newly released from prison who becomes involved with a reclusive young actress. Although they haven’t announced who will be playing what, it sounds like Farrell will be the young criminal and Knightley will be the young actress, which are roles that the two actors fit into quite comfortably.

This movie seems to be completely cloaked in mystery. So here are a few stills to shed some light on it. Though we still only know the basic out line of the story, this gives us a better idea of what Director Terry Gilliam has in mind visually. This cast looks simply amazing in this theatrical/cabaret garb. Not only are we presented with four A-list actors to portray one fellow (i.e. Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, and Jude Law as “Tony”), but we also have some bad-ass actors in supporting roles.
For example, Tom Waits (musical genius) is the perfect man to play the devilish character of Mr. Nick. Who else can speak with a voice made of smoke? And veteran film actor Christopher Plummer as the elder Dr. Parnassus! Being that this was Heath Ledger’s last film, I’m sure tons of people will be lining up to see it; that aside, these photos have sparked an increased interest for me.
Here are some still from Terry Gilliam’s Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus:
