The Brothers Grimm by Terry Gilliam

There I was watching the coming attractions before Batman Begins this morning (excellent, by the way), and up comes a preview for The Brothers Grimm (2005), directed by Terry Gilliam. How did I not know about that one?

Probably because, for some reason, its preview is not included in Apple's list of trailers, one of my favorite haunts. (Found the preview here.

Gilliam's one of my favorite auteurs, particularly for Brazil, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, 12 Monkeys, and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.

This grim Grimm fits Gilliam. (This sure ain't looking like a Disney fairy tale.)

By the way, another preview this morning was for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory -- a Willy Wonka remake by Tim Burton that looks like it will further justify my appreciation for Johnny Depp as a best film actor of our time. Whatta range!
