I watched the trailer today. It gave me chill bumps. I could barely tell Heath and J. Depp apart---the movie looks amazing.

Well I am really looking forward to this. And my mother is a Johnny Depp obsessed fanatic, so maybe I'll take her to see this. :)

It was like seeing into the past, to see Heath in that trailer. I am so so glad they finished it. They all loved him,
and his personal way. He was honored and his daughter will receive the money that she never would have gotten,
if it had just all been ashcanned. I for one cannot wait to see it. I would go and see it, if he was only in it for a
short time of say two minutes. It is like truly watching magic, to see him in his acting glory.
Thus far I have been very unsatisfied with Gilliams movies. They start well and then just kind of die on the vine.
I hope and pray that this one has better fate. I would love to see a truly outstanding finish to this career that we
all know had so much more to contribute.

'Parnassus' finds Stateside buyer
Sony in advanced talks to pick up Ledger film
By SHARON SWART
'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'
Heath Ledger’s final film has finally found a Stateside buyer.
Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group is in advanced talks to pick up "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus," with plans for it to go out theatrically, likely this year, via Sony Pictures Classics.
Pic is expected to be a lucrative homevideo title due to the Ledger angle and the other star power. Terry Gilliam’s adventure also features Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell, who replaced Ledger in various fantasy scenes after the thesp died during the film’s production in January 2008.
"Parnassus" was officially unveiled at Cannes this year in an out-of-competition slot toward the end of the festival. Several buyers screened the film just before Cannes, but a deal didn’t immediately emerge.
Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group has been a key player in a number of pic deals lately, including for "The Young Victoria." That film will go out theatrically via Bob Berney and Bill Pohlad’s new Apparition label, and SPWAG will handle all ancillaries as part of a three-way deal on the pic.
SPWAG has a homevid deal with Apparition.
The "Parnassus" deal with Sony has long been in the works and could be made official this week.
Reps on the deal, including sales agent John Sloss, remained mum.
The film goes out in the fourth quarter through various distributors in European territories including the U.K., France, Germany and Italy, plus Australia and New Zealand.

I had been worried for awhile that I wouldn't be able to see this in the theaters. A straight to DVD in the US would have been horrible. >:( >:( >:(
Now I just hope it comes out sooner than later. Preferably Christmas time, when I'm out of school and have time to scout out the theaters showing it, as it's likely to have a limited release. Plus, I plan on seeing it multiple times. ;)
