Popularity

Un carromato recorre los barrios de Londres con una compañía de teatro ambulante que dirige el doctor Parnassus. Su atracción principal es un espejo mágico que lleva a los espectadores a un mundo imaginario, un lugar que cambia según los deseos de quien entra. Forman parte del grupo Anton, un ilusionista de labia rápida, y Percy, un hombre de baja estatura. Parnassus oculta un secreto que pesa sobre todos ellos: siglos atrás firmó un pacto con el Diablo para alcanzar la inmortalidad. Ahora su hija Valentina se acerca a los dieciséis años, la edad a la que el trato le obliga a entregarla. El doctor no piensa aceptarlo y busca la manera de cambiar las condiciones del acuerdo antes de que llegue ese día.

Trivia about The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

Depp, Farrell y Law donaron sus ganancias por la película a Matilda, la hija de Ledger, que había quedado fuera de una versión antigua de su testamento.
Gilliam dio por terminado el montaje en noviembre de 2008 y creó 647 efectos diferentes para la película, con los que sustituyó parte del trabajo previsto con los actores.
Gilliam explicó que su equipo pidió 4 millones de dólares por los derechos para Estados Unidos, pero finalmente no lo consiguió. Esos derechos acabaron en manos de Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group.
Según Gilliam, mucha gente creía que el personaje seguía siendo Heath Ledger cuando aparecía Johnny Depp, porque el truco consistía en que Depp no hacía nada especial.
