First Clip of Heath Ledger in 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'

When will it come to the States?

Everyone loves to bring up The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus since it marks Heath Ledger's final on screen performance, and at the same time everyone loves to act as if Terry Gilliam has always been one of their favorite directors. I guess they never saw Tideland

However, since we still don't know what will happen with The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, as no domestic distributor has stepped up to the purchasing plate as of yet, we only have this short 16 second clip to begin our judging. Of course, it is too short to make heads or tails of it, but at least it's something.

As for when and if we will ever see the film in U.S. theaters, Gilliam recently told The Times the planned release date was this autumn, "We want to be in that last third for the Academy Awards!" Gilliam was quoted saying. "Maybe we'll get another award for Heath. We're going to get as many awards as possible for him, long after he's gone."

Remember him now via the clip below.

Hey man I thought Tideland was pretty good. Only Gilliam could have pulled that off. I guess that makes me a true fan!

Acually Tideland was not that bad. Gilliam has the balls to do what he wants! So did Ledger. I cannot wait for this movie!! Too bad the USA is dragging their feet! Its here in Canada on Sept 25th and also in Australia. Heath is doing a very interesting character in this clip, I can hardly wait. It will be hard though, knowing that this is really the last time. RIP Heath, we miss ya mate!

This is showing at Cannes. Yes? Maybe it'll get feet there.
