Could it be Heath Ledger's best film -- and yes, we know he's already scored an Oscar for "Dark Knight" -- is his best?

The latest trailer for "The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus" is nothing short of amazing. We get some backstory on the title doctor, but the star is Ledger, by far, as a mysterious man apparently determined to save the doc from a deal with the devil.

Better, we get to see Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell in their roles as alternate versions of Ledger within the doctor's Imaginarium.

Watch the trailer:

"Imaginarium" opens in theaters Dec. 25, 2009.

very cool, looks imaginative. will most definitely consider going to see it for Heath and also to see how they pull of the 3 switcheroo (Johnny, Colin and Jude)

"Could it be Heath Ledger's best film... is his best? "

I'm guessing the first instance of "best" is supposed to be "last". Otherwise it's like asking "Could it be Heath Ledger's seventh best film is his seventh best?"

Regardless I'm glad that they got enough footage of Heath to allow viewers one final look at the talented actor.

It's actually coming out around Christmas, that's the what the official website says. Looks like a great movie!!! I'll be sad to see Heath's final work though :(

I saw this in Vancouver last weekend and it is great! Its a wonderful movie. Absolutely beautiful to watch.Gilliam does it again and I think its Gilliams best movie. Heath was amazing, he made me laugh and cry and smile. The other three blended perfectly as Tony. Its not really a switcheroo, more of a morphing thing going on. Depp and Farrell were really good.Law is well his usual self, ok. I am glad that these 3 friends of Heath got together and helped finish the movie for their friend. I worked with Heath, He was a truly good person, with a gentle soul. May he RIP.
