Sony Pictures to Release "The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus"


Sony Pictures Classics is now in talks to release Terry Gilliam's new film hopefully this year. The movie stars Christopher Plummer as the title character and Heath Ledger in his final role. But since Ledger passed away in the middle of production in January, his character, Tony, will also be portrayed by Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell in different fantasy sequences. The specific date for the US release has not been confirmed yet, however the film will premiere on October 16th in Italy and the UK, according to IMDb. It has already been shown at the Cannes and Munich International film festivals.

I'm not very familiar with Gilliam's work (besides, of corse, "Monty Python and the Holy Grail), but I would not miss the opportunity to see Ledger's final performance.
