Get A Look At Some Art (And More) From Terry Gilliam's THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS!!
Merrick here...
Quick Stop Entertainment has posted a trailer/marketing reel for Terry Gilliam's THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS.
It features voluminous concept art from the film, a shot of Heath, and a few words from Mr. Gilliam.
You can find the video...
HERE!!!
The film's official site is HERE.
Word is Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell (all stepping into Ledger's role) contributed their earnings from this film to Ledger's daughter Matilda upon learning that Heath's will had been drawn-up before she was born (it wasn't updated to reflect her inheritance). This is about as as classy as classy can be, as far as I'm concerned. Good show, gentlemen...

Wasn't there something about Ledger...
by half-baked-goggle-box-do-gooder
...providing a Trust Fund for his daughter? Which is better, because a trust fund can't be publicly revealed....
Anyway, this looks pretty damn good. Gilliam is in my Top Five, up there with Aronofsky, Kubrick, Coppola and Kurosawa. -
Good to see his daughter gettng something. Classy of those guys to do that too.
-
this seems interesting
-
...God's away...God's away...God's away on Business...
BUSINESS!
HAH! -
er...the clue's in the name!
-
Kurosawa?
[snort]
you should check out the films of Michael Bay. Now theres a guy who knows storytelling. -
I was kinda skeptical when i heard about the movie, mainly since I have never seen any of Gilliam's work, but watching that makes me want to catch up and has made me extremely excited for this movie.
-
It's not as if you were forced to click on the article. If you already knew what it said, then skip over it. - If I see a report on the news at 11 and then see the same thing in the paper the next morning, I don't write into the editorial section saying that they should have delivered that artical to me last night. I just skip over the artical. ANYWAY, it's also not as if you are PAYING the site for the most up to date info. You are visiting a free site. If AICN does not meet your standards on when to report things, stop visiting.
-
I wonder if he has as much footage of Ledger as Ed Wood had of Bela in Plan 9.
-
I liked Tideland.
..and The Fall..
..am I in the wrong place?
This movie will be great! -
...maybe I spent too much time alone as a kid, but I thought he nailed how it felt to be a kid wandering around and playing imaginary games...that movie was like a cross between Gormenghast and Little House on the Prairie...
-
In the video I would swear that that shot for the fireworks is from LotR, which is interesting and slightly alarming because it makes me wonder how much of this is really from/relating to this movie. still excited, but more cautiously now.
-
Its not like there are other HOMELSS orphans with NO parents in the world. Yah, the millionare's daughter deserves it more...
-
You are correct. It IS a shot lifted from the party in 'The Fellowship of the Ring'. Lazy-arsed editors claerly thought the promo needed 'jazzing-up'. Tossers.
-
Fuck off.Then come back when you've worked and given up your wages for another (that's if you even earn a wage).
-
Lord of the rings was good. I dont see the connection. Horses?
-
don't ya know there's no devil-
that's just GOD when he's drunk... -

~~Question Is, Will They Date Heath's Daughter Later?~~
by the marquis de side 3
when she turns 18 or 19, you know, I'm sure there will be some cradle robbing by then, as all three duke it out for her =0p
-
i am strange.

Damn You Michael Bay

I know there's at least one more GREAT film in Mr. Gilliam...
by daytripper69
Either way, his place in cinema history is assured. Time Bandits, Brazil, Munchausen, the Fisher King---classics all... his latter ones, progressively less so... Sorry, but I thought "Tideland" to be a mess. Looking back at the clips though, and the cool production art, has me drooling for the new film. C'mon, Terry, don't let us down!
-
Well, yeah: but I wouldn't mind a synopsis.
-
i mean, ready for this movie to be released, so i can purchase a ticket and watch it in the theaters.
but, also, i'm down because i'm depressed.
j/k j/k j/k
*humungous sigh of despair* -
And definitely is one of Gilliam's best imo. It's also one of the most haunting films I've ever seen.
-
And behold what could surpass Heath Ledger's most memorable villain of this decade, Gael García Bernal's character. It is one of the most disturbing characters ever put on screen. Gael García Bernal WOULD be THE choice for repacing Ledger on the Joker role, if Nolan chooses to recast.

I can't believe Metallica's new album is actually good.
by stereotypical evil archer
It's been 20 years since something this good by the four dudes in Metallica.
-
pretty much describes all of Gilliam's films. Amazing and creative, but not quite cohesive. Don't get me wrong, I'll be seeing this one in the theater.

Prediction: one of the few Gilliam movies to turn a profit!
by tallboy66
I've always believed that Dark Knight probably got an extra 100 mil just for Heath's "Last" (well, full) performance alone, so I'm thinking people will turn out of this one enough to at least make some cash back, which may actually be a first (aside from 12 Monkeys, which I'm pretty sure made some bread).
-
flawed but precious
-
Yeah, but Michael Bay also eats baby spiders. I know that has no direct relevance to his film making genius, but I'm just not comfortable watching his movies....
-
So I suppose you are a Tom Waits fan? I am developing a script based on his album Rain Dogs. And I know someone whose friend (and I know this already sounds lame but...) actually know Tom Waits quite well!
-
is the most exciting part about this project for me.My favorite musical artist, and the best...by far.
-
although, by now I'm sure I'm just wasting everyone's precious time
-
It stuck with me. It's one of the most interesting complete and total failures I've ever been lucky enough to see. I'd rather see a great director fail with ambition and nerve like this or Marty's New York, New York than one just give up like Coppola's Jack!
-
Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus? Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium? What' next? Potassium Gumballs of My Imagination?
-
I hope that beautiful little girl grows up with all the love and support that she deserves. Depp and Co are to be commended.
-
I can't wait to see how this turns out. Tideland was shit though, but this one sounds better so far.
-
Gilliam needs financial backing, I'm sure.
-
this film is in post-production, and is almost done. they wrapped a while ago.
if they pull off those images, this looks like it'll be one of a kind. -
is from Danny Boyle's "Millions". Loved that movie.
-
blew my mind in mystery men. greatest performance ever, bar none. fuck, man. non lethal weapons? hell yeah. mmmm. yeah. mmm.
-
I've never had a film resonate with me as much as that one did outside of Star Wars. Not comparing the two... but goddamn was that a thing of disturbing beauty.
-
... Coppola's "Youth Without Youth". A beautiful film if, had been made by Lynch, would've been considered a masterpiece. I loved every moment of that film.
-
ALMOST got the part of Mephisto in the crapola Ghost Rider flick.
Thank god he was not tarnished by the association. -
I thought I was the only person in the world who liked Tideland,
-
...are two of the greatest assholes on the face of this Earth for keeping their son's money from his daughter. I can understand if they don't trust Williams, but they should stop 'investing' the money and set it up in a trust fund for Matilda. Fuckin' bastids.
-
So you are privy to what Heaths parents are doing with their sons money are you?
-
is quite a talented actress, herself.
i never watched dawson's creek, but i remember liking her from the first performance i saw her give. and, being surprised that i liked her. then, i saw brokeback...and she is just fantastic in that movie.
i also get the impression that heath ledger didn't command a salary like clooney. he only did 3 movies after his oscar nomination. (i'm not there, TDK, and imaginarium) i can't imagine "imaginarium" footing a 15 million dollar tab for ledger's name, epsecially since this is the second film gilliam and ledger have done together. ledger seemed to be more interested in the role than the check.
i doubt his parents are fucking over his daughter, financially.
also, michelle williams is no "courtney love"...that girl will be around for a while. she's gorgeous and talented. mathilda will be better provided for than all of us.
-
because Brazil changed my youngerself
-
Terry Gilliam has always been one of my favorite directors.I've Lov ed every film he's done(I still haven't seen time bandits),Fear and Loathing,12 Monkeys,and The Fisher King have been my favorites. He's a true visionary and a risk taker.I would love to see Gilliam,Del Toro,Tarsem,and Gondry get together and make a fantasy anthology film. That would be dream project!
-
He doesn't make enough movies...I'd love to see some sci fi next...maybe he could work with Bruce Willis again!
-
but he has made a few great films. Brazil is a masterpiece. The films that he makes that are not great are, in the very least, to his fans, entertaining. I like Gilliam, but don't worship at his altar like others.
-
Do we have any form of real proof that Heath Ledger's parents etc. aren't taking care of Matilda financially using Heath's money? If not, let's not pass judgement on anyone.
-
I don't know. He sure is a one of a kind filmmaker, but as a storyteller he just doesn't cut it. This again looks like a bloated-overstuffed madcap quirky film that's all about ideas but again you won't give a fuck about any of the characters at all. Will watch it anyway come time no doubt but don't expect it to be "exciting", his fantasy films never are.
-
Well honestly there are only a couple of his 'new' movies to consider! People say he's hit-and-miss but IMO he's hardly made a bad movie. I didn't like Brothers Grimm much but apart from that everything he's done has been good.
-
Apparently you guys didn't like my first saying that you were about ten hours late on this story and deleted it yet everyone else can call each other niggers and fags and they don't get censored in any way. Good job AICN, you are fascists.
-
AFAK Wills usually include a clause for if/when you have children. For example I didn't have to change a thing in our (my wife and I) will to include our son, and that will was made years before he was born...maybe this is some odd Oz law?
-
a) people can't call each other those words, they will get bannedb) people like you that get all uppity and idiotic whenever you perceive AICN is "late" on a story, are the most annoying thing in the talkbacks, and I wish they would ban all of you morons."this was on my sister's friend's dentists blog like 30 minutes ago. AIN'T IT OLD NEWS!!!!" fucking ridiculous.here's a little piece of info for you, you drooling monkey...some of us don't spend 12 hours a day perusing every nerd fan site on the web to ensure we see artwork for an upcoming movie 3 seconds after it hits the web. some of us just go to AICN, and that's it. if it's important, it will find its way here. and you know what? if this has been on the web for 10 hours before I see it on AICN, WHO FUCKING CARES? if your life is that sad that you can't wait 10 hours to see some early images of a Terry Gilliam movie, then you really need to reevaluate your priorities. there are SO MANY OF YOU in the talkbacks, all with itchy trigger fingers, just waiting for chances to point out that you saw some info from AICN 20 minutes earleir somewhere else. and it's fucking pathetic.I wish I had a banhammer that only worked on you turds...
-
Terry Gilliam is such a unique voice - there are very few people that just jam a prybar into your imagination and pop it open like he does. Time Bandits, Baron Munchhausen and the Fisher King are three films I find myself watching at least once a year.

Is Terry , really ,really unlucky , or a total crazy bastard or
by rameses
In interviews Terry seems a level headed intelligent and funny guy, but he just doesn't seem to be able to put a film together without a major studio bust -up or his lead actor dropping dead.Other directors don't seem to have half these problems .Tim Burton seems to be closest in style and tone to Gillian and bringing the same kind of fantasy to life , and he doesn't appear have any of this whacky chaos during a shoot.It's like Gillian is either totally uncompromising in bringing his vision to the screen , ignoring everything , including commercial chances and budget restraint .Or he's under some sort of gypsy curse !!!Ever since B .Munchausen, even his simpler projects, seem to spiral out of control, within minutes of the camera roling.That said his M.Python animations were genius and I do dig his stuff { I even liked B.Grimm }This latest one looks like some sort of B.Munchhausen/Willy wonka Hybrid.Does anyone know what exactly the film is about???Finally Tom watts is the man!
-
this film truelly does look like a masterpiece. from what i could tell it looks beautiful.
-
Does that mean that Heath's family kept everything and didn't give it all to Matilda??If so then what a buch of A$$holes! I mean your son as this little girl, he's one of the top 25 best actors in Hollywood, his last fully completed movie his one of the highest grossing film of all time, and you keep all the movie from your little girl?I really hope it was because he didn't have much left and not the family takng it all for themselves.This girl will always have the dark shadow of her father being cast over her. Good thing her mom has a good head on her shoulders else she'd grow up messed up with folks like her grand-parents keeping the cash.I really hope they didn't the cash from her.Kuddos to Depp, Law, and Farrell for giving their earnings to the kid. Like they needed it anyways? They proved to have bigger hearts than most critics gave them...
-
and the fact those three are so willing to do as much. Of course all the "Johnny Depp for the Joker!" people will be sad as he took over one of Heaths roles now he probably wont do it again...
-
If you believe all this nonsense about his parents. Some fucking goof says it on the internet so it must be true right?
What you talking about "most critics gave them". Critics gush over those 3 all the time.
I'm not trying troll you. I'm trying to shake you violently to wake you the fuck up, boy! ...now pass it on. -
...my job involves long term creative projects and watching that shoot slowly implode made me break out in a cold sweat...I tossed and turned all night...
-
is the only thing of Gilliam's I can watch. It's WAY more interesting than his actual movies which I feel are tackily designed and overblown to compensate for a subpar story.
-
I really like Gilliam and I think this will be his best picture. Perhaps. And, Heaths passing will probably make it that much more attractive to the public.Damn, I miss Heath already. First actor I have ever been able to actually say that. Sure, there have been a lot of great ones pass on and have really bummed me out but not in the way Heath's death has. WAY too young. He was such a great talent. And, yes, I did feel this way long before his Joker. His portrayal as The Joker had better earn him the Oscar. After watching TDK again last night (on my iPhone : ) I am really amazed at how, with every viewing, his performance in TDK was as good as anything I have ever seen. Oscar caliber performace for sure IMO.R.I.P. Heath Ledger

...all hold capes over their faces throughout their scenes.

is what I meant to say.

What in the hell kind of medieval law is that?
by shut the fuck up donny
Georgia is by no means a progressive state and WE have "Year's Support", making sure a widow and children get their share of the deceased's funds regardless of what the will says (and contrary to its name, it's for more than a year's worth of money). Where was Heath a resident of, and does anybody have input on how they usually address such issues? The lawyer in me just boggles at this!

But seriously, I guess Heath is related to the Bales? Does whoever ended up with his inheritance not give a shit about his daughter? And I guess Dawson Creek reruns aren't earning as much as they used to? Plus aren't Colin/Deep/Law (well maybe only Deep) working for cheap for this role? Deep is one of the highest paid actors in the world. WOOO HOOO? Why don't they just make a commercial begging me to give up my money.
-
I love Gilliam to death, but my god Brothers Grimm was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I don't know how it was sooooo boring, but it felt like time stood still while I was watching it.
