The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009)

It looks like there is every reason to be excited about The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. In true Terri Gilliam fashion it looks like nothing you have ever seen – since he did that to you last time. In this case the story features Heath Ledger (in his last role, which is sure to make the buzz explode), Johnny Depp and Colin Farrall, and Christopher Plummer – all playing the same leader of a traveling theater company, Doctor Parnassus, who has made a deal with the devil to never die. The visuals look absolutely stunning, and with this much talent – let’s hope they don’t end up tripping over each other. Fortunately they won’t be acting with each other, so that should help the ego wars somewhat.

Opens in theaters October 18.
