The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

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 travelling 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...

You're welcome.. I'm glad too, they finish it.. when I heard they stopped the production immedietly I was sad, but I'm quite curious about the way they will do that..

Honey-Girl · 03-03-2008, 07:46 AM

I really can't wait to see this movie. And how it will look like with four actors for one role.

**silvercrystal** · 03-03-2008, 03:44 PM

Thank you for setting up this thread. I've been excited about this movie from the moment I heard about it last year. It looks awesome and I'm so glad that they're going to finish it an release it. The actors that are going to take over are perfect and I'm sure they'll do justice to the role that Heath began.

**Jenn** · 03-03-2008, 06:48 PM

I'm really excited for this movie too! I'm glad they found a way to keep Heath's scenes in there.

I think its so incredible that they can get other actors to finish the movie off and such amazing actors too but at the same time its just heartbreaking because it should be Heath

**Shopaholic** · 03-04-2008, 03:07 AM

I think it's great that they found this way.. I think they wanted to honour his last aork.. and I think it's a great honour for Johnny and the others to complete Heath's role..

**only dreaming** · 03-04-2008, 04:06 AM

oh its definately great but it does have a tint of sadness to it as well.

**Shopaholic** · 03-05-2008, 04:13 AM

I've not hear anything about them returning to filming yet, they'll probably start back in this month? I guess it depends on the schedules of the new cast members as well.
