DOCTOR PARNASSUS backstage footage

The French site Toutlecine.com has posted a few minutes of tasty backstage footage from Terry Gilliam's upcoming The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. We get a quick glimpse of an almost unrecognizable Tom Waits as the film's devil (he's the gaunt fellow with the crazy ears,) but no Heath Ledger. (Ledger died during filming, and Gilliam came up with the clever idea of making Ledger's character a shapeshifter, with his role being taken over for parts of the film by stars like Jude Law and Johnny Depp.)

The more I see of this movie, the more promising it looks. Here's hoping it gets an American distribution deal soon.
