Terry Gilliam: Two New Films for 2005

The Brothers Grimm
(expected release, July 2005 - no trailer out yet)

A dark fantasy about the two "Brothers Grimm" (Ledger and Damon) who travel around the Napoleonic countryside vanquishing fake monsters and demons in exchange for cash.

When the French government figures out what they're up to, they force the brothers to deal with the real thing -- a number of murders being committed under mysterious circumstances in the northern woods between Germany and France. It is there that they have to try and discover what's really happening and deal with it before more people are killed or their lack of success leads to the guillotine.

Starring:
Matt Damon, Heath Ledger, Jonathan Pryce, Monica Bellucci, Lena Headey, Peter Stormare, Mackenzie Cook, Richard Ridings

Tideland
(expected release, sometime in 2005 - no trailer out yet)

In the great tradition of child fantasy stories such as The Wizard of Oz and Alice and Wonderland, Terry Gilliam takes us on a wild adventure with his adaptation of Mitch Cullin's cult classic novel.

After her mother dies from a heroin overdose, Jeliza-Rose is taken from the big city to a rural farmhouse by her father. As she tries to settle into a new life in her mother's childhood home, Jeliza-Rose's attempts to deal with what's happened result in increasingly odd behavior, as she begins to communicate mainly with her bodiless Barbie doll heads and Dell, a neighborhood woman who always wears a beekeeper's veil.

Starring:
Jodelle Ferland, Aldon Adair, Wendy Anderson, Jeff Bridges, Sally Crooks, Brendan Fletcher, Janet McTeer, Dylan Taylor, Jennifer Tilly
