Instant boner!!! good to see Gilliam back and the Joker dude getting some more work.

Looks good. This doesn't have a distributor in the US yet, right?

EDIT: Never mind, it does. We have to wait till Christmas though 

[Joe Molotov]

I hope this is good, the last good movie he's made was Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and that was 10 years ago.

[Dickie Dee]

How is it getting so many review quotes already

edit: nevermind IMDB says it played at Cannes, didn't know that

 'the extra-ordinary doctor parnassus!'

 looks like ridiculous messy fun. i can see gilliam straining his paltry budget for the fantasy scenes but it all looks charming enough.

[Joe Molotov]

He did a good job of that in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. Not so much in The Brothers Grimm.

[Fresh Prince]

So basically Depp et al. filled in for Heath?

[The Fake Shemp]

I'm not a fan of how they handled Ledger's part.  When it was originally announced, it was stated that Depp & Co. were going to be playing fantasy incarnations of Heath's role.  So I imagined that all actors would distinctly different.  But instead, they all look like Ledger.  That's pretty lame.

[Fresh Prince]

They probably still are but they made them dress the same to begin with just to show that they are still the same person- which makes sense to show for the trailer.

This explains how they handle it in the movie:

There’s two sides of Heath’s Tony. The one in the perceived real world that we exist in – and the Tony that ventures to the other side of the mirror. The first time he goes, it is after an older rich woman, who was invited to venture through the magical frame. When he takes his mask off, he is no longer Heath, but Johnny Depp… the imagined fantasy of the woman, it is still his intelligence and character, but we see him as she sees him. The second time, he goes through the mirror as himself… where we see his imagination – and in his imagination, he’s Jude Law (who was actually the initial actor Terry approached to play the part of Tony). The last time he goes through, it is after Valentina – and this time he’s Colin Farrell – giving root to all of the worst aspects of Tony.

And Brothers Grimm wasn't his fault. Miramax fucked with it and him

[The Fake Shemp]

Again... that implied that they would look different.  All they look like is those three actors pretending to look like Heath Ledger.  It's lame.  Lame is lame.

What happened to The Brothers Grimm? I really wanted to like that movie, but just couldn't. It was so haphazardly paced. Multiple editing passes?

[The Fake Shemp]

Yeah.  ManaByte is half right - it's a combination that it was never that great to begin with and studio interference.  If you buy the film geek line that the evil, diabolical studio just wanted to sabotage the whole operation because Gilliam is an unrecognized genius, then Miramax is obviously the villain.

The truth is that Gilliam is a talented, but difficult director who routinely turns in projects over budget.
