Heath’s Final Film

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is Terry Gilliam‘s new fantasy film about a traveling theatre that has to embark on a crazy rescue mission to save the immortal Dr. Parnassus’s daughter from the Devil that has come to collect on a prior arrangement made by the thousand-year-old doctor.
Christopher Plummer, Tom Waits, and Heath Ledger lead off the cast. Ledger’s unfortunate death did put a spin on the film’s production a third of the way through filming. Ledger’s character Tony was recast with Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell portraying different transformations of the role as he travels through a lucid vortex of parallel worlds to rescue Valentina. Opening December 25th, 2009. Take a look at the trailer.
