Heath Ledger consults Doctor Parnassus

He’s been on a downward career spiral recently, thanks to The Brothers Grimm and the poorly received Tideland, but here’s hoping that Terry Gilliam can bring the magic 𝕴back for his next film.

That would be fantasy adventure The Imaginarium Of Doct🍸or Parnassus, and it’s just grabbed a decent cast. Christopher Plummer will play the titular doctor, who guides others’ imaginations, but has a problem – he made a deal with the devil (Tom Waits) and now Satan is looking to collect. Heath Ledger has also jumped aboard, though his role is unknown.

. Writing partner Charles McKeown has been working with him on the script, and with the likes of Verne Troyer, Lily Cole and Andrew Garfield also set to star, Dr Parnassus should kick off shooting this December in London before moving to Vancouver.

We’ll make our own deal with the devil if it mea💮ns Gilliam gets his old form back&ౠhellip;
