The folks over at EcranLarge have debuted a latest set and production photos from Terry Gilliam‘s “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.”
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is a fantastical morality tale, set in the present day.

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…

Brand New Heath Ledger in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus Photo
Thanks to SlashFilm we’ve got this brand new photo of Heath Ledger in his final film, Terry Gilliam‘s “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.”
The magic mirror in which the actors travel through seems to be sitting behind Ledger in the photo. Ledger passed away during filming, so trio of actors: Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell all stepped in to fill his role for the remainder of the film. “Ledger’s character falls through a magic mirror four times throughout the film” making these transformations into other actors actually feasible.
Pirates of the Caribbean Writer Terry Rossio Clears Up Pirates 4 Rumours
Terry Rossio, co-screenwriter of the first three “Pirates of the Caribbean” films, has made an announcement and denied the circulating rumors about “Pirates of the Caribbean 4.”
For the record, none of the recent Pirates 4 rumors have any truth, including the so-called record 50 million dollar payday for Depp.
Some pretty funny stuff, though. Sacha Cohen? Tim Burton? Studios are way too protective of their franchises for that sort of thing.
The only thing that has been officially announced so far is that Johnny Depp will return as Captain Jack Sparrow in the fourth film.
The only thing we know for sure is that Johnny Depp is returning for a fourth adventure.
