Damn.

"Doctor Parnassus" includes allusions that eerily parallel the mythic aura that has grown around Ledger. The movie has references to unforeseen death, remaining forever young — even James Dean, to whom Ledger has been compared as another rising star who died before his time.

Gilliam said those parallels were in the script before Ledger died, and he decided they should stay because "this is the movie Heath wanted to see, and this is the movie that we will do. And I hope he would be pleased with it. I think he would be."

Not really certain I will see this movie and I'm not really sure why that is.
