The U.S. exclusive trailer for The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus has been released. The film has garnered much interest because of Heath Ledger, who died during production. Fellow actors Jude Law, Johnny Depp and Colin Farrell stepped in after Heath’s death to help finish the movie. The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus hits theaters this Christmas.

For those not familiar with the movie here is the synopsis from Yahoo!:

Dr. Parnassus has the extraordinary gift of inspiring the imaginations of others. Helped by his traveling theatre troupe, including his sarcastic and cynical sidekick Percy and versatile young player Anton, Parnassus offers audience members the chance to transcend mundane reality by passing through a magical mirror into a fantastic universe of limitless imagination. However, Parnassus’ magic comes at a price. For centuries he’s been gambling with the devil, Mr. Nick who is coming to collect his prize — Parnassus’ precious daughter, Valentina on her upcoming 16th birthday. Oblivious to her rapidly approaching fate, Valentina falls for Tony, a charming outsider with motives of his own. In order to save his daughter and redeem himself, Parnassus makes one final bet with Mr. Nick, which sends Tony and Valentina and the entire theatre troupe on a ride of twists and turns, in and out of London and the Imaginarium’s spectacular landscape.
