Gilliam movie update: TIDELAND (trailer)

from my inbox this morning (and I still have yet to see Brothers Grimm!):

TIDELAND UPDATE - THE OFFICIAL TRAILER IS LIVE

Are you ready to enter the surreal and haunting world of Tideland?

If so, we are pleased to inform you that the official trailer and three
clips to Terry Gilliam's new film are now live on the official website.

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
