Official Us “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” Trailer

Sony Picture has released a US trailer for Terry Gilliam’s “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus”.

The specialty studio picked up the rights for a bargain price after no one wanted to get involved with it after a lackluster Cannes Film Festival premiere.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is a fantastical morality tale, set in the present day. It tells the story of Dr Parnassus and his extraordinary ‘Imaginarium’, a traveling show where members of the audience get an irresistible opportunity to choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom. Blessed with the extraordinary gift of guiding the imaginations of others, Dr Parnassus is cursed with a dark secret. Long ago he made a bet with the devil, Mr Nick, in which he won immortality. Many centuries later, on meeting his one true love, Dr Parnassus made another deal with the devil, trading his immortality for youth, on condition that when his first-born reached its 16th birthday he or she would become the property of Mr Nick.

The trailer itself looks spectacular, and with just over a week to go until release it won’t be long before we all get to see the finished product.
