the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. First Trailer

submitted by therealblankman

1 decade 4 years 9 months 3 weeks ago

Heath Ledger's final film- he infamously had the nerve to die mid-shoot, and the latest (masterpiece?) from director Terry Gilliam. The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Features Christopher Plummer as Doctor Parnassus, Tom Waits as the Devil (naturally), and of course Ledger, who was posthumously replaced by Colin Farrell, Johnny Depp, AND Jude Law! Looks great, and is getting fabulous reviews.

Certainly looks like it, but no.

The first reviews of this that I saw said it was a bit 'meh', and lacked something. I can but hope that they saw an early cut that wasn't finished, or that they're just idiots.

Because I love Gillian (Brazil, 12 Monkeys, Time Bandits... so many brilliant films), and the cast is also brilliant.

Fingers well and truly crossed.

Hmmm... that's not necessarilly a good sign. Might mean that it isn't doing too well on the festival circuit, and they're re-cutting. Has anyone seen it at the various film festivals? I know it played at Toronto... Krupo?

I heard pretty lukewarm at tiff as well.

I had a good feeling about the movie going in but I was left a bit underwhelmed. The characters were not very well developed (forgivable for a Terry Gilliam flick) but the CGI was rather crude looking. In the end, I was not sufficiently drawn into the film to care about the characters. Oh well.

Disappointing. Better than the 'Tideland' and 'Brothers Grimm', but that's not saying much.
