Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus Pictures
Posted by John Campeaon 07. 05. 2009in News Chat
Because of how brilliant he was in The Dark Knight, a lot of people forget that it wasn’t Heath Ledger’s last movie. Ledger was working on the Terry Gilliam movie “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” when he died. As you may recall, instead of scraping the movie, they finished it with Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell all stepping in to play Ledger’s character to finish the project.
The film has just recently picked up distribution (finally) after it looked like it may fail to do so. The film will premier at the Cannes FIlm Festival on May 22nd.
The good folks over at Filmofilia share some pictures from the production that they got their hands on. In the pictures we can see Christopher Plumber as Doctor Parnassus, Heath Ledger as Tony, and Lily Cole as Doctor Parnassus’ daughter Valentina.
I’m looking forward to seeing how this turned out.

Will the hanging scene remain I wonder. I remember that post long ago on here thats so creepy now.
The costuming and makeup looks surreal in those images. Looking forward to see how that all fits in with the movie.
+ tom waits!
can.not.wait.
This movie will be great. Gilliam has to try very hard to disappoint me.
Aint it cool have this movie a glowing review and said it was the best work Gilliam have ever done … I believe the word “Masterpiece” was used.
Hey Koko,
AICN also said Star Wars: The Phantom Menace would be remembered as one of the all time greatest sci-fi movies in history…. so there you go.
It is john.
Am I the only one who thought the first pic of Heath was actually Steve Gutenburg?
Yes you are.
A must see movie event!!! Excellent cast and director… rest in peace the lovely Heath.
I hope this will be released across America so that I can see it on a BIG screen the way a Gilliam movie needs to be seen!!!!
According to IMDB, it’s scheduled for a limited Christmas release in the US and Canada! I am so there!
