The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus” directed by Terry Gilliam (former
Monty Python star), which cost $20m to make was finished in August
last year. But the “fantastic” tale is struggling to find a buyer and
secure a US distribution deal.

Despite the huge publicity and big-name cast, Heath Ledger, Johnny
Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell,  negotiations with several
prospective commercial partners are ongoing, but no release date has
been set.

One concern among buyers may be the film’s complicated synopsis,
involving a surreal contest between the 1,000-year-old Dr Parnassus
(played by Christopher Plummer) and the devil (known as Mr Nick, and
played by Tom Waits). Ledger’s character, Tony, is a mysterious
outsider who apparently travels through a dream world.
