Scarlett Johansson's favourite singer set for new Terry Gilliam movie

Tom Waits to play The Devil in Heath Ledger's last film



Tom Waits is to play the part of the Devil in Heath Ledger's final film, 'The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus', it has been revealed.

Directed by ex-'Monty Python' member Terry Gilliam, the film also stars Jude Law, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Christopher Plummer as Doctor Parnassus.

Speaking in a blog on website Anti, Waits said: "I am the Devil in 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus' – not a devil...the Devil. I don't know why [Gilliam] thought of me. I was raised in the church.

"Gilliam is an impresario, captain, magician, a dictator (a nice one), a genius, and a man you'd want in the boat with you at the end of the world."

Actress Scarlett Johansson released an album of  Waits covers this week (May 19), entitled 'Anywhere I Lay My Head'.

I went to the theater to see that movie with one of my roommates.



Halfway through, our other roommate called us and said she was locked out of the house and needed us to come let her in.



I still haven't seen the rest of it. :(

I've heard it's going to be really good.

p.s. I believe they all play the same role. i.e. Heath, Jude Law, Johnny Depp, and Colin Farrell.

I think, but I could be wrong...

than it did when it was starring Ledger. Now if only it doesn't fall prey to the Gilliam curse.

The bit about Scarlett's album just seems like it was thrown in there.

Must we include Scarlett in this? You'd think Waits would be news-worthy enough on his own.

That said, I can't wait to see this.
