New poster for ‘The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus’
New poster for ‘Parnassus’ arrives
Check out the U.K. poster for the upcoming The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus courtesy of Empire. It makes me think of the Polar Express which, in turn, makes me think of the Baby Jesus and hot apple cider. (I love Christmas. Go to hell if you don’t like it.)
With The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus slated for a Christmas Day opening in Obamaland, Terry Gilliam’s latest film (aka Heath Ledger’s last movie until the Rapture) has seen its share of problems. From Ledger’s untimely death during production to financial concerns over a U.S. distribution, Doctor Parnassus has looked more like Doctor The Dangblam Movie Isn’t Ever Going To Come Out.
Eventually heads were pulled out of arses and Gilliam’s feature will air in the States.
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is a $30M “freakshow” movie that follows the story of an 1000-year-old immortal (Christopher Plummer) who, through a deal with the devil, operates a traveling theater that takes its audience through a magical portal into their imaginations. The Devil comes to collect on his deal and goes after Doctor Parnassus’s daughter. After Ledger’s death, the role of Tony, who assists the Doctor in rescuing his daughter through a series of parallel world adventures, will also be played by Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell.
