The Imagainarium Of Dr. Parnassus Support Site was so excited to be invited to be the guests of the Gilliams for the TIFF Gala Premier of The Imaginarium Of Dr. Parnassus Friday in Toronto. We were represented by our forum and site member and dear friend, Jane. Jane’s account of the adventure will be ready in a day or so, but until then we thought you would enjoy sharing the fantastic photos that she took from the red carpet, preparing for the premier, in the greenroom, at the theater and at the after party.

We would like to thank Terry and Amy Gilliam for this wonderful opportunity and Chritsopher Plummer, Verne Troyer, Tom Waits, Lily Cole, Cassandra Sawtell and Andrew Garfield for their graciousness in allowing us to take these wonderful photographs and be part of this wonderful night.

I have put the HD photos in different categories at the links below. I have put one photo from each category before the link to that set of photos. ENJOY! And, we’ll have the story for you soon!

Christopher Plummer As Dr. Parnassus

As the veteran star of stage, screen and TIFF stares down 80, he finds he’s busier than ever.

For Christopher Plummer, 80 is the new 40.

The veteran actor will indeed become an octogenarian on Dec. 13, but the rate of activity he’s generating these days would do credit to a man half his age.

Not only does he have two movies at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival (My Dog Tulip and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus), but he’s got three other pictures in release this year (Up!, Caesar and Cleopatra and 9), is preparing to return to the Stratford Shakespeare Festival next summer as Prospero in The Tempest, and is being inducted into The Canadian Film and Television Hall of Fame.

“Well, it does sound like a lot if you put it that way,” concurs Plummer over the phone from his Connecticut home, “but I love every second of what I do, so it never really seems like work at all.”

Even when a project is as troubled as Parnassus was, due to the unfortunate death of Heath Ledger during its filming, Plummer finds no fault, but chooses instead to hail “the amazing spirit of professionalism and teamwork of the artists who pitched in selflessly to make it work.”

Christopher Plummer As Dr. Parnassus

Christopher Plummer As Dr. Parnassus

Exclusive
By Amy Rogers

Near the end of In Spite of Myself, the lively memoir by celebrated actor Christopher Plummer, there�s a photo of a Star Trek Klingon. With a nailed-on patch covering one eye and a piercing gaze emanating from the other, Colonel Chang looks startlingly out of place.

After all, Plummer is an acclaimed Shakespearean actor, renowned for his King Lear, his Caesar, his Cyrano, his Henry V (which in 1956 critics called �stunning�). The photos in the book showcase the actor�s matchless career and his remarkable friends: Orson Welles, Dame Edith Evans, Peter O�Toole and dozens more.

But a Klingon? What place could there be for a sci-fi warrior in a classical actor�s refined life? And then it dawns on readers�Plummer himself was the menacing Klingon Colonel Chang. He appeared in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country � alongside an old friend named William Shatner.

It�s surprising, not because the much-lauded actor looks out of place or foolish, but because the opposite is true: he�s dead-on perfect in the role.

The ability to seamlessly inhabit characters is one quality that distinguishes merely competent actors from great actors. So is longevity, especially in a world where trends come and go, and where new faces constantly flow into the pop-culture pipeline. The list of actors who possess both is a short one, but Christopher Plummer�s place on that list is assured.

The Canada native has appeared in more than 100 films, on TV, on stage in the U.S. and abroad, in concert, and most recently as the voice of adventurer Charles Muntz in Disney�s animated feature, Up. But anyone old enough to recall the Sound of Music will forever associate Plummer with his role as dashing Captain Von Trapp. He�s won multiple awards, including Emmys and Tonys, for his work. And with the 2008 release of his memoir, he�s produced a bracingly candid retrospective of his life, loves and travels.

Now nearly 80, Plummer will delve into a world of fantasy and magic as the title character in the long-awaited new release, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, directed by Terry Gilliam. While many news stories focused on the untimely death of co-star Heath Ledger during filming, the cast and crew rallied when Colin Farrell, Jude Law and Johnny Depp came onboard to help complete the project.

In still photos recently released from the film, Plummer sports ornate costumes in the fantastical settings that are the director�s trademark. With his long beard, steely stare and powerful countenance, Doctor Parnassus is already captivating fervent fans. For the role, Plummer may call upon facets of iconic characters from history, from mythology or his own illustrious career � or he may forge something unexpected and completely different.

Waiting to see a highly-anticipated film is like getting ready for a road trip. Travelers are eager to see where the trip will take us, but we can�t quite picture what we might see along the way. With Christopher Plummer leading film-goers through The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, we can be certain of one thing: it will be an astonishing and memorable journey.

The Imaginarium Of Dr. Parnassus also stars Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, Jude Law, Tom Waits, Lily Cole, Verne Troyer, Andrew Garfield and Paloma Faith

The composers for the musical score of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus are Michael and Jeff Danna. The brothers have been in the business of scoring movies, television shows, documentaries and even a couple of video games since 1987 and 1989 respectively. Michael has scored such films as “Little Miss Sunshine” and “Capote”. Jeff’s works includes “The Boondock Saints” and “Lakeview Terrace” and together they have worked on such films as “Fracture”, “Surf’s Up” and of course, “Tideland”. They have collaborated once again to bring us what will no doubt be a most enchanting and haunting score for Doctor Parnassus.

Mychael

Mychael

Michael (Mychael) Danna – September 20, 1958 – Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Mychael Danna is the brother of fellow composer Jeff Danna. He has been scoring films since his 1987 feature debut for Atom Egoyan’s Family Viewing, a score which earned Danna the first of his thirteen Genie Award nominations. He has won five times for Achievement in Music – Original Score. Danna is recognized as one of the pioneers of combining non-Western sound sources with orchestral and electronic minimalism in the world of film music.

He studied music composition at the University of Toronto, winning the Glenn Gould Composition Scholarship in 1985. Danna also served for five years as composer-in-residence at the McLaughlin Planetarium in Toronto (1987-1992). Works for dance include music for Dead Souls (Carbone Quatorze Dance Company, directed by Gilles Maheu 1996), and a score for the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s Gita Govinda (2001) based on the 1000-year-old classical Indian erotic poem, with choreographer Nina Menon.

Jeff

Jeff

Jeff Danna – 1964 – Burlington, Ontario, Canada
A hand injury ended the performance career of pianist/guitarist Jeff Danna, but his dream was kept alive with his transition to soundtrack composing. Using as a springboard a score for the Warner Brothers television revival of Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, which he composed shortly after moving to Los Angeles in 1991, Danna became one of the top composers of television soundtracks. Beginning with his score for the Tim Blake Nelson-directed movie O in 2000, Danna has focused on film composition.

Danna has remained active as a musician, recording traditional and original Celtic music with his brother keyboardist Mychael. The brothers, who have received three BMI/SOCAN awards for scoring excellence, collaborated on three albums including A Celtic Tale: The Legend of Deirdre, A Celtic Romance: The Legend of Lladain and Curithur, and a second version of The Legend of Deirdre featuring narration by Fiona Ritchie of National Public Radio show “Thistle and Shamrock”.

< ----Jeff talks to insidefilmmusic.com about working with Terry Gilliam –--->

Q: I want to begin with Tideland, which I feel is your most artistic work to date. First of all, how did you get involved and at what point was it decided to be a collaborated effort?

A: Back in the beginning of that project, Mychael (Danna) and I talked about wanting to do something together again. I don’t remember the nuts and bolts of how it came to be. I know that Mychael knew Leslie Walker which is how we got connected to that film.

Q: I feel that Tideland was a masterfully designed and poignant film set in this bizarre world of happenings. This leaves a lot of room for creative expression. What key elements were you looking for when telling this story musically?

A: The great thing about Tideland is that there was no boundaries in the imaginative (Terry) Gilliam world. A lot of times when composers come on to a project, there are the obvious parameters placed around your creativity because of the genre or the period or the directors desire for a certain sound…basically a lot of things to be considered. In this case, there wasn’t a box around us. The one general note we had from the beginning was to play it from Jodelles perspective versus playing it to the audience as a series of happenings. Jodelle’s character was quite innocent, eccentric and surreal.

Q: Being that this picture was vividly different from your works in the past, were there any outside influences or did the film naturally dictate your overall sound?

A: Lesley Walker, the film editor does not temp her films, so it was very interesting to be able to come to the table with a completely fresh take on it and not having someone say it needs to sound like this. In some ways this makes it a little trickier because there is a whole world of possibilities and it takes time to narrow them down.

The Terry Gilliam film, Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus stars Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, Jude Law, Tom Waits, Christopher Plummer, Lily Cole, Verne Troyer and Andrew Garfield
