Heath Ledger’s final film has finally found a Stateside buyer.

Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group is in advanced talks to pick up "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus," with plans for it to go out theatrically, likely this year, via Sony Pictures Classics.

Pic is expected to be a lucrative homevideo title due to the Ledger angle and the other star power. Terry Gilliam’s adventure also features Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell, who replaced Ledger in various fantasy scenes after the thesp died during the film’s production in January 2008.

"Parnassus" was officially unveiled at Cannes this year in an out-of-competition slot toward the end of the festival. Several buyers screened the film just before Cannes, but a deal didn’t immediately emerge.

The "Parnassus" deal with Sony has long been in the works and could be made official this week.

Reps on the deal, including sales agent John Sloss, remained mum.

The film goes out in the fourth quarter through various distributors in European territories including the U.K., France, Germany and Italy, plus Australia and New Zealand.

Terry Gilliam's "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus," featuring the final perf by the late Heath Ledger, will have its U.S. preem at the 17th annual Hamptons Film Festival, closing the event on Oct. 11.

Opening this year's edition on Oct. 8 will be Shana Feste's debut feature "The Greatest," starring Susan Sarandon and Pierce Brosnan.

Brian Koppelman and David Levien's pic "Solitary Man," starring Danny DeVito, Sarandon, Mary-Louise Parker, Jesse Eisenberg and Jenna Fischer, will screen on Oct. 10 as the centerpiece film.

Ledger had finished shooting only the "real world" scenes in Gilliam's fantasy film when he died on Jan. 22 of last year. In order to complete the movie, Gilliam enlisted Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell to play Ledger's part -- one actor for each of the different worlds to which his character travels.

Pic had its world preem at Cannes and will play at the Toronto Film Festival this month as well.

The Hamptons fest runs Oct. 8-12.

this could be great - though Gilliam's last really great film was 12 Monkeys. since then he's been hit and miss (though still more interesting than 80% of the filmmakers out there)

Looking forward to this - he did redeem himself with Tideland after a piss poor Brothers Grimm but this really looks a return to his true force..
