Lily Cole as Valentina: Doctor Parnassus's daughter.

Tom Waits as The Devil.

Andrew Garfield as Anton.

Verne Troyer as Percy.

The accident that took Heath Ledger's life in the midst of production could have brought the movie to an end. But thanks to Terry Gilliam's determination to honor the work done by Heath Ledger and to pursue the movie, the Imaginarium of the Doctor Parnassus should hit theaters on September 24, 2009.

Tery Gilliam is able to keep Heath Ledger's scenes thanks to a plot trick: his role was recast to have Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell portray "physically transformed versions" of the character.


Today we have a first glimpse of Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell in the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus:
