Watch Tom Waits Play the Devil in the Trailer for The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

Still without a release date in North America, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus has its first international trailer, and it underscores the commercial woes the film will face even once its distribution plans are settled. Yes, the movie marks the last screen role for Heath Ledger, who died during production, and it also features turns by Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law in Ledger’s stead. What it does not feature, if this trailer is to be believed, is a coherent plot or any obvious hook for general audiences.

That said, director Terry Gilliam rarely makes a boring movie, and we’ve heard enough about this thing that we’re going to be in the audience one way or another. Oh, and Tom Waits is in it. As the devil. Enjoy:
