Terry Gilliam is starting to annoy me. We all dig his films, but it’s starting to seem like the ones he never gets made are almost better than the ones he does. For instance, what the heck happened to The Brothers Grimm? I heard no tale of monsoons or other acts of god. In fact the film finished shooting… and has since disappeared. Now Terry Gilliam is all about his next movie Tideland, which leaves the Grimm’s where?

Apparently they’re out to pasture because Gilliam is already hard at work pimping Tideland, currently in month two of shooting in Canada, home of great things like Alpha Flight and flannel factories. It’s based on a freaky novel by some guy named Mitch Cullum, and the story starts out with a heroin overdose, which usually is an indicator that we may see something good. A heroin overdose leads to a girl talking to headless Barbies and a woman in a beekeeper’s veil. It’s not quite Don Quixote, but headless Barbies is nearly as much fun a fighting windmills.

Well the thing’s still shooting, which since it’s Gilliam may mean it’ll never be seen, but there’s already a teaser poster. Yep, that’s the thing to the right of this article, unveiled courtesy of the Gilliam fansite Dreams. They got it during a set visit to the film... they also visited the Grimms but we still don't have a poster for that... despite it being finished. Tideland however stars Jeff Bridges, who is not in the teaser poster, and Jennifer Tilly, whose breasts deserve to be in every teaser poster whether she’s in the movie or not. Scroll down below this drivel to see an even bigger version of the Tideland poster.

Hire Johnny Depp to wait in his trailer on The CB Forum.
