The trailer for Heath Ledger's very last film, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, has finally been released.

The eagerly awaited film was in the middle of production when Heath tragically passed away last year from an accidental overdose, but with the help of some of the world's best actors, including Johnny Depp and Jude Law, who stepped in to play Heath's role, director Terry Gilliam was able to complete it despite the loss of his leading actor.

Also starring Lily Cole, the fantastical tale sees Heath play Tony, a stranger desperate to save the lives of those touched by Doctor Parnassus, whose pact with the devil for a life of immortality puts the souls of those around him in danger.
