In the fantasy adventure THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS, the London sideshow troupe of "Doctor Parnassus" (Christopher Plummer) promises audiences a journey to the "Imaginarium", an imaginary world commanded by the mind of Parnassus where dreams come true. In the stories that Parnassus tells to his daughter "Valentina" (Lily Cole), to his long-time assistant "Percy" (Verne Troyer), and to his new assistant "Anton" (Andrew Garfield), he claims to have lived more than one thousand years. Percy and Anton save the life of a man hanging from a bridge. The man on the rope is "Tony" (Heath Ledger). He joins the traveling wagon performance, is repulsed by its primitive style, and recommends making it more state-of-the-art. Heath Ledger died during the production of the film, and production was shut down for a few months. Then it was re-started when Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell agreed to complete Ledger's role. The film's fantasy premise, and some clever re-writes, let the actors play a man whose appearance changes as he travels between imaginary worlds. After Ledger's passing, Verne Troyer and Lily Cole both got heart tattoos in memory of him. Terry Gilliam directed the 2009 film. The film's score, by Mychael Danna and Jeff Danna, was released on a Lion's Gate CD in the U.S. and by Silva Screen in Britain. Heath Ledger and Verne Troyer
