    Vern Troyer? Really? That's the best dwarf actor they could get? Seriously, the dude who played in the Pirates of the Carribean movies is a much better actor than Vern. He just makes me cringe from his inability to display a personality. #theimaginariumofdrparnassus

    This is why i am skeptical about most Marvel movies. The names they've thrown out for Captain America (Brad Pitt! Leo DiCaprio! Will Smith!) have all been more of a wish list then actual candidates. (It isn't even clear that big names make the movie all that great, either; who would have considered Bale a contender for Batman before the first Nolan movie)?

    Marvel is like the kid who used to brag about having all the cool Star Wars toys but who, when you came to visit, would say "oh, I let a friend borrow them." #thor

    What I always loved is that it was super-ultra-precious and the coolest thing ever, and yet the guy seemed to let anybody BUT YOU borrow it. #thor

    I could have sworn they had already casted Thor with the guy that played Kirk's father...was that just a rumor too, or am I thinking of something else? #thor

    Basically they're quashing their own unsubstantiated rumor.

    Can't say I was really following Imaginarium until now.

    Looks like a beautiful example of a rare and endangered species...a movie that actually looks interesting enough to brave the local ciniplex just to see it in 40 foot glory.

    Tx you Mr. Terry for being so Gilliam

    @ballookey: I'm Not There sort of doesn't count because they weren't literally all meant to be playing the same person/character. They even had different names.

    Palindromes, on the other hand, definitely did this, to a great effect. Also, saying "no other movie will ever attempt" it is sort of odd. Has Charlie seen into the future of filmmaking?

    Gilliam's been responsible for some of my favourite movies (Brazil, Munchausen, 12 Monkeys) and one of the very few films I genuinely cannot stand (Brother Griimm). Dr Parnassus, from what we've seen, looks amazing. I'm definitely looking forward to this.

    @Pope John Peeps II: It's got a really odd rythm but I can never quite get behind. The transition from horror to comedy and back again always feels forced to me and there's a couple of moments, the minced kitten in particular, where the film just stops absolutely dead.

    @honeybee111: You're absolutely right, and when when it works he produces films that look like nothing else (Brazil, 12 Monkeys and Tideland) all spring to mind. When it doesn't though, you don't so much have a film as a set of disparate elements that happen to be on camera at the same time.

    What I want to know is:

    a) Will people actually go see this one, and
    b) If they do, will they be seeing it for Gilliam awesomeness or because it's Heath's last picture

    ?

    Poor Terry has a hell of a time making movies, and when he does finally make one, he has a hell of a time getting people to actually see it.

    @atrus123: I would totally pay money to go see this one, because it gives me happywarmnostalgic flashbacks to Baron Munchausen. Unfortunately, the studio has decided to release it the day after I leave the country for a place that will most likely not show it on the big screen. Assholes.

    Tom Waits as the devil ! I officialy name Terry Gilliam, Best Person Ever. Tom Waits is unfortanetly not in the running for this title becuase he is less a person and more a personification of awesome.
