The Brothers Grimm

I just got the new issue of Wired in the mail yesterday and was blown away by the photo's of Terry Gilliam's take on it. Holy Shit! This looks like I had always dreamed it would look. Dark and Twisted. The very small article says it was done filiming two years ago, and it took this long to get the CGI done.
.
I did a quick search and found a trailer here

It says it comes out Aug 26th. I am pretty excited about it!!

Yeah! There are two Gilliam films coming this year! The Brothers Grimm and Tideland. It's been far too long too. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was the last film by Terry and that was in 98. Then of course there is the documentary about the unmaking of the film version of the man from La Mancha.

That trailer is kind of goofy though. It doesn't necessarily seem indicative of what the film will be. Maybe I'm wrong and maybe that is what the film is really like. But it just has the feel as far as trailers go, as one of the trailers put together in house by Miramax/Dimension with very little thought or care. Just my two cents on that one. Either way I will be there at the cinema opening day.

Speaking of trailers (sorry for the off-topic, but you jarred my memory), I saw one for Flightplan the other day. That looks great (if the trailer didn't show too much).

It made me think Panic Room on an airplane upon initial viewing of the trailer. That is just me though.

Too bad Gilliams basically renounced/abandoned the film... I'm sure it'll still have great stuff, but I don't think we can expect another Gilliam masterpiece...

He has? Link/quote?

After a bit of checking here is what I came up with. I went to the Gilliam fan site first as it was the easiest source for information. There are few comments allueding to some sort of conflict, most likely about budgets and what not.

If I find more info I will post it here.

Actually, that link sounds fairly reassuring. Sounds like Winjer read a blown-out-of-proportion version?

Just noticed your tag, Myrrh. I wanted to write a story about the myth of the hashashin. I was disappointed to find out that it's a myth, actually. I thought that story was true.

Are you sure about that? Try looking under 11th century Ismailis.
