Jeff, not to nitpick, but it should be 'imaginarium' not 'imagination' in that last small paragraph. that aside, this sounds like the type of project only Gilliam could direct. I'm filled with a slightly wary (after the brothers grimm) excitement.

See, the problem here is that I'm not very bright. Once we fix that, everything will be golden. Thanks for the heads up. Gold star for dahluzz!

it's always a good thing that gilliam is making another movie, unlike tim burton mhe has to go through hell to get the money but it's always worth the wait

Terry Gilliam is often overrated. No offense, Brazil and 12 monkeys are sci-fi classics, and The fisher king is a good movie, but the rest... The brothers Grimm? Tigerland?

Ufff...

TIGERLAND isn't a Terry Gilliam movie. TIDELAND is, and it's one of Gilliam's best films. It's a shame that it had such a butchered theatrical run.

Really? Is it always worth the wait? I think Gilliam is one of the most overrated directors. He is an amazingly talented visualist, but his storytelling and pacing are all over the place. I saw a workprint of GRIMM and between that and LOST IN LA MANCHA I had to reassess my admiration of him. I have no doubt why he has to struggle to raise money. He is incapable of working within a budget. Without a strong editor and 1st AD, he is nothing.

tideland was a painfully awful waste of time and potential.

Terry Gilliam is a bad-***. Baron Munchausen rocks my sox off, and everything I've seen of his has tickled my fancy, so I for one am very excited to hear this.

Gilliam truly needs to get his groove back. He is responsible for 2 of my favorite movies (12 Monkeys and Brazil) but that was oh so long ago. My friend gave me Tideland for my birthday and I'm literally afraid to watch it. I don't need further disillusion.

If this movie ends up sucking, then I think thats just about it for him. With me that is.

Does anyone else think this sounds like The Seven Faces of Dr. Lao?

Gilliam is brilliant. If I was a billionaire I would finance all his projects...
Anyway, I can't wait for "Parnassus", it sounds awesome...

I love Gilliam...but he hasn't directed a good film since 12 Monkeys in the mid-90's.
Still, we'll see.
