October 16th marks an important day, the release date for the last film of the late Heath Ledger (A Knight’s Tale, Brokeback Mountain, Casanova, The Dark Knight). A beloved member of the film community, Heath passed away on January 22nd of 2008 from an overdose of prescription medications, but his legacy lives on through his work. We were all blown away by his performance as The Joker in The Dark Knight and it appears we will be able to enjoy his presence one last time now that his final film, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, is hitting theaters.

The film tells the story of Doctor Parnassus (Christopher Plummer), who roams around in an old-fashioned “traveling show” wagon and are disregarded by most people, who are all unaware that Doctor Parnassus is the real deal. The Doctor’s shiny mirror is a portal to an incredibly odd, colorful world filled with everything you can imagine. Now it appears the Doctor made a deal with the devil, Mr. Nick (Tom Waits), for immortality but in return his daughter would become Mr. Nick’s property when she turned 16. With young Valentina (Lily Cole) approaching the aforementioned age Dr. Parnassus makes a new bet with Mr. Nick, the first person to acquire five innocent souls would win Valentina. Here Parnassus requires the help of Tony (Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, Colin Farrell), a multi-faceted individual with the necessary skills of showmanship to bring clients into the Imaginarium. The race is on, will Tony and the doctor be able to win back Valentina, or is she doomed to belong to Mr. Nick. To continue reading visit.....http://www.famousmonstersoffilmland.com/

    • Following in the spirit of 'Brazil' and 'The Adventures of Baron Munchausen', which are obsessively favorites of mine, I am so looking forward to 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus' and to the cinematic presence of Mr. Heath Ledger, that will live on forever. The flawless actors cast along with the creative mind of Mr.Terry Gilliam has made this movie a collaboration worth waiting for.
