Terry Gilliam's new film, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus has been receiving a lot of press recently with the death of its star, Heath Ledger.

There has been question regarding the fate of the film since Ledger's death last month. Principal photography had only been partially completed (filming had been wrapped in London) and was set to begin green screen filming. There had been some speculation as well as word from sources close to the film (including co-star Christopher Plummer) that the movie will go on in one form or another. Well, now the official site is up with a single image on display. The site actually launched last week with only half the image but now the image is complete - and it's pretty cool. Very interesting looking although it doesn't give much insight into the film itself.  Looks like Gilliam is asserting that the show will go on in one form or another.  Here's the pic, or go to the site for yourself to see the full sized image.

A while back, there was a book about some MIT students who beat the Vegas system by counting cards called Bringing Down The House. Now there's a movie version of the book starring Jim Sturgess (Across the Universe) and Kate Bosworth (Superman Returns). Lawrence Fishburn and Kevin Spacey also star in supporting roles. I think it looks pretty cool. There are a lot of people out there who have issues with this movie because evidently all the students are supposed to be asian, but in the movie, they're obviously not (with the above casting). 

The official movie site is up here. It's not the coolest website you'll ever see, but it's interesting.  At least go and watch the official trailer. Like I said, I think it looks pretty cool.
