The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

So, this is cool looking, but mostly it's just weird. I might check it out due to a case of morbid curiosity (emphasis on the "morbid"), but something tells me several actors playing one character ain't gonna work. Granted, if anyone can make it happen, Terry Gilliam can. He's got one of those brilliant movie minds that don't conform to conventional standards, as does Johnny Depp, but still...

Lily Cole is Super

In case you had any doubts that super models are leading super-ior lives, here's Natasha Poly and Noemie Lenoir joining Lily Cole on the red carpet at Cannes for her major feature debut in Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. The film was mostly panned by critics, which seems pretty unavoidable considering it was quickly cobbled together with replacement actors after Heather Ledger's untimely death, but Ms. Cole came out smelling like roses, gleaning the majority of the critical praise for her apparently dazzling performance. Beautiful, rich, AND talented? But of course! Fashionista's got the rest of the scoop about that here. Wonder what happened to Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll, the Marilyn Manson project she was suppose to star in. I remember the clips Manson posted on his website & they looked cool as hell.
