I'm Invincible

Nothing’s permanent. Not even death.

Quite a quote to start with, eh? That is actually a Johnny-Depp-line. Oh yes! Really, it is. And I’m getting all excited.

Yesterday, I was browsing through PerezHilton‘s site and one post got my attention. It was the “First Trailer Of Heath Ledger’s Last Film!” This information is kinda new to me because I really thought that The Dark Knight was his last. I don’t usually read the whole article on Perez’s site since it is mostly shitty, but this one got me. Ha ha ha! That’s not the best part yet…(or, at least, for me!)

As I read the remainder of the article, this was what I found: “….stars Jude Law, Johnny Depp, & Colin Farrell, who all stepped in for Heath after his death.“

That just about made my day. Ha ha ha! I know I’m being silly. But I just love JD. He’s a good person. He learns from his mistakes. And he’s a magnificent actor, making every character he portrays comes to life.

So, back to the film, it is entitled The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. It’s a fantasy film. I searched for some info over the WWW. And I’d like to share the plot:

In the present day, immortal 1,000-year-old Doctor Parnassus leads a traveling theatre troupe—including a sleight of hand expert, Anton, and a dwarf, Percy—that offers audience members a chance to go beyond reality through a magical mirror in his possession^. Parnassus had been able to guide the imagination of others through a deal with the Devil, who now comes to collect on the arrangement, targeting the doctor’s daughter. The troupe, which is joined by a mysterious outsider named Tony (portrayed by Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell)^, embark through parallel worlds to rescue the girl. -from here.

Right then, I decided to watch this film. It’s not only because JD’s part of it… I love fantasy films. It somehow gives our imagination a little time to play. From the trailer below, you can see how visually breathtaking it is. Enjoy!

Fun Facts:

• He will be playing the iconic vampire, Barnabas Collins, in Dark Shadows (the next Tim Burton film). But the production of this movie will have to wait until Johnny finishes the fourth installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean.
• During a Christie’s auction of entertainment items, Edward Scissorhands’ scissorhands was one of the top earners, selling for an astounding $16,000!!!
• Martin Scorsese is set to helm an authorized biopic of Frank Sinatra and….. Universal’s first choice for the role is the talented Johnny Depp.

More movies to come as well! Woohoo!
