The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus Looks… Wow
Well. This new trailer for Terry Gilliam’s next film is light on the nerd girl porn — which is to say light on the mysterious man who can morph into the panties-dropping assortment of Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell — but heavy on the holy-shit-what-the-fuck-is-going-on-here. I’ve got to say, I’m impressed with all the good reviews Parnassus has been getting; Gilliam’s films are usually too out there for most critics, and man, does this look out there. (Via FilmDrunk)
