A myriad of new images from Terry Gilliam’s “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” have been revealed online and while we’ve seen all these characters before — Heath Ledger and the various doppelgangers who play him in the film — it’s really the first time we’ve seen good high-quality stills of Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell. Plus you get another look at Tom Waits as the devil.
There’s definitely a magical whimsical quality to them that looks fairly appealing (because you know we obviously “hate” this film and all) and by that we mean (because everything we say here is loaded) is they look more appealing here than they do in the trailer. But you know to each their own, especially if it’s going to cause a silly flame war.
Meanwhile, those rumors that Colin Farrell might stand-in for Johnny Depp in “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote? Gilliam says, poppycock, they’re just rumors. “Colin’s brilliant and I’d love to work with Colin. [but] I can’t say anything about the casting at the moment because we’re just starting that process, but Colin I would never say no to. That’s a good rumor,” he told Digital Spy.
“The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” open Christmas Day via Sony Pictures classics and on top of playing at the Toronto Film Festival, it will also have it’s U.S. premiere at the annual Hamptons Film Festival, closing the event on Oct. 12.
