I was genuinely taken aback by how good the trailer for The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus looked
when we first saw it this summer. It was hard not to expect something less than smooth, based in
part on director Terry Gilliam's usual difficulties finding
financing, a convoluted story, and of course, the death of Heath Ledger, who was replaced by three actors.
But the trailer tells a much different story. It looks like Gilliam had an enormous budget and the
Ledger stuff doesn't seem nearly as drastic as it absolutely had to be. So now rather than being
just a curiosity, I'm legitimately interested in checking out. Here's the new UK quad poster from
Empire:

We finally got a US distributor for Doctor Parnassus, a delay that kind of surprised me,
and there's now a release date. So look for this present under your tree on December 25th.
