Doctorparnassus.com posted this brand new movie still from the upcoming film ” The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus ” by director Terry Gilliam (The Brothers Grimm , Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas ) and starring Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, Jude Law and Heath Ledger from “The Dark Knight”.
Synopsis: The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is a fantastical morality tale, set in the present day. It tells the story of Dr Parnassus and his extraordinary ‘Imaginarium’, a traveling show where members of the audience get an irresistible opportunity to choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom. Blessed with the extraordinary gift of guiding the imaginations of others, Dr Parnassus is cursed with a dark secret. Long ago he made a bet with the devil, Mr Nick, in which he won immortality. Many centuries later, on meeting his one true love, Dr Parnassus made another deal with the devil, trading his immortality for youth, on condition that when his first-born reached its 16th birthday he or she would become the property of Mr Nick. Valentina is now rapidly approaching this ‘coming of age’ milestone and Dr Parnassus is desperate to protect her from her impending fate. Mr Nick arrives to collect but, always keen to make a bet, renegotiates the wager. Now the winner of Valentina will be determined by whoever seduces the first five souls. Enlisting a series of wild, comical and compelling characters in his journey, Dr Parnassus promises his daughter’s hand in marriage to the man that helps him win. In this captivating, explosive and wonderfully imaginative race against time, Dr Parnassus must fight to save his daughter in a never-ending landscape of surreal obstacles – and undo the mistakes of his past once and for all…

It looks like the same still that has been on the Drparnassus site for a few months. But, thanks for the synopsis. It looks like it’s going to be another Gilliam classic.
So is this like supposed to be a horror, thriller, drama, comedy, romance or some combination of all the above? I get nightmares easily but I’m a fan of Johnny depp and Heath ledger so I want to know if it’ll be worth risking the nightmares.
