Terry Gilliam is currently filming for his wild futuristic movie The Zero Theorem, about one hacker's quest to discover the reason for human existence.

Terry Gilliam, interviewed by TCM, explains the major difference between movies like Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey and the mega-successful but more comforting works by …

In 1985, Universal Studios bigwig Sid Sheinberg decided that director Terry Gilliam's cut of Brazil wasn't going to be marketable in America.
