OlderThe Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus — FIRST REVIEWS!
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was one of the most anticipated film of the 2009 Cannes Film Festival because it’s the last one from the late Heath Ledger.
Colleagues Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell pitched in to finish the film, which ends with the on-screen credit: “A Film From Heath Ledger and Friends”. Here are the film’s first reviews:
Hollywood Reporter: The first big question about [director Terry Gilliam] managed to complete the film when his star Heath Ledger died in the middle of shooting. The answer is with great imagination and skill… The three stars that came to Gilliam’s rescue also make amusing contributions but it’s hard not to wonder how much better the film would have been with a complete performance by the charismatic and adventurous Ledger.”
Variety: “Especially considering the trauma and difficulties stemming from Heath Ledger’s death during production and the fact that Terry Gilliam hadn’t directed a good picture in more than a decade, the helmer has made a pretty good thing out of a very bad situation in Imaginarium.”
The projected theatrical release for Imaginarium is Friday, June 6.

I wonder if the movie will get a lot of viewers simply because Heath died during the middle of shooting, and not necessarily because it’s a good movie.
This movie is very nice!
See it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
can’t wait to watch the movie
it’s funny how Heath’s movie suddenly became a must see after he died.
I’ve been excited about this movie ever since i first heard about it. I cant wait! I hope it’s played in my town. Sucks living in a small town ugh :P

KEL I AM NOT GOING TO SHUT UP.. IN FACT… I AM SCREAMING RIGHT NOW BY USING CAPS…BECAUSE WHY NOT USE STAND
INS INSTEAD OF JOHNNY DEPP JUDE LAW AND COLIN FARRELL..
WHO NEEDS THEM WHEN THEY ARE CONSIDERED “FRIENDS’
When they are all award winning actors… not “FRIENDS…
SO KEL YOU SHUT THE HELL UP
This movie is going to be so depressing! It’s one thing to see the The Dark Knight, but to see him in the movie he was filming when he died….but it’s got an excellent cast and I like the idea they came up with to finish the movie.
SO ME- WHO IS THE REST OF THE CAST…?? JUST HIM OF COURSE
#1 kind of like The Dark Knight! Granted it was a good movie but not one of the best of all time.
Mr. Heath does it again, you do realize the three actors who replaced him at the end of the shooting gave all the money they made from the movie to Heath’s daughter right?
oh that`s sad .. I`m really glad those guys stepped in .. they also gave their paychecks to little Matilda ..I really can`t wait for the movie, even before Heath passed it sounded amazing .. so definitely looking forward to it :)
How I wish we could bring him back.
THE BOYS DID IT FOR FREE… O.K NO MONEY FOR MATILDA THE PROFITS FROM THIS MOVIE WILL GO TO HER THOUGH!! ALL OF
IT WILL IN HONOR OF HER DADDY..
wow johnny depp! such a awesome performance in this!

I miss Heath, I wish he could be with Matilda
Jared, why didn´t you post the next sentence of the HW review?
“The second big question is whether or not Gilliam has produced something to rank with his great fantasies “Time Bandits” and “Brazil” and the answer is sadly not.”
The reviews are mixed at best.
And where did you get the release date? The film hasn´t a distributor yet and with these reviews it won´t get one.
