Looking for your first sneak at Heath Ledger's final movie? Look no further - a teaser video for The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus has appeared online, and while it doesn't feature any actual scenes from the finished movie, it does have director Terry Gilliam explaining what the movie's about, concept artwork and pre-visualization CGI from the movie and, oddly enough, lots of reminders about Gilliam's earlier work.

If anything, the retrospective nature of the 2:48 video is as depressing as it is comforting; it's one thing to say for Gilliam to say that the new movie "feels like the kind of films I made when I was younger," but the constant use of scenes from Brazil and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen throughout the piece - along with the generic trailer blurb about the movie taking you on a journey "beyond imagination" - also robs the viewer of any sense of newness or discovery. Or maybe I'm just being too picky. What do you think?
