I have been waiting to finally see a clip of Heath Ledger in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Finally, my curiosity has been satisfied. This clip of Heath appearing as Tony, the lead character, performing in a white suit and wearing a white mask. He asks: “Can I ask you a question – ‘Do you dream?’ Or should I say, ‘Can you put a price… on your dreams?’†(It seems like his last two roles take on my two biggest fears, and making me own up to them and get over them. I am very scared of clowns (The Joker) and masks (Tony). )
It made me gasp to hear his voice again. Even with that smooth Australian accent made me want to see the rest. If you want to see all the movies in the Cannes Film Festival package you can go to the official site. (The clip that Heath is in is around the 21:27 mark.)
Everyone knows my heart belongs to Heath Ledger. And I have been following his last movie with vigor. Tonight, I was just off to bed when I saw these four new pictures from the last movie he was in, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. The movie will finally be debuting at the Cannes Film Festival in a couple of weeks. I would die to be one of the people that gets to see it first.
Here are four new stills from the movie. Christopher Plummer plays Doctor Parnassus. And the costume he is in below looks amazing. The effects in this movie are stunning. But let’s hope it’s not too confusing with Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law taking over Heath’s role.
I found out more about the story line. Dr. Parnassus, is man who runs a traveling sideshow with his daughter, a young barker, and a sidekick, played by Verne Troyer. Tom Waits plays the Devil, with whom Parnassus makes a Faustian bargain, and Ledger’s character joins the troupe after they find him hanging from his neck under a London bridge. (And now I understand these pictures from the set.)
