New Ledger Photos from Gilliam's 'Dr. Parnassus'

Here’s an earlier report about this film on HollywoodChicago.com:

Heath Ledger Hung By Noose on Film For ‘The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus’

You know, I love Gilliam, but for all the ballyhoo about his Watchmen I’m not sure he would’ve made a good version. Especially when you consider the movie he made instead was Baron Munchausen.

I got these pics via Cinematical, and here’s their description of Parnassus:

The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus is Gilliam’s first original script in a long time and is set in parallel versions of modern-day London. Christopher Lee plays the 1000-year-old Parnassus who, along with his traveling theater troupe, has a debt to pay to the big baddie himself: the Devil (as played by the gravel-voiced Tom Waits). The cast also includes Verne Troyer (the man forever known as Mini-Me) and Lily Cole. Gilliam wrote the script with his long-time collaborator Charles McKeown. The film has a budget of $30 million, which is a pretty big price tag for an independent film, but I’m guessing all that set decoration isn’t cheap. The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus is slated for release in 2009.
