Few things make a reunion tour less appealing as the passing of a key member, and Monty Python – much like The Beatles after John Lennon was assassinated – have done little together as a group since Graham Chapman died of cancer in 1989. Much of the cast have worked together since, but the only time the five living members got together was for an appearance in 1998 at the Aspen Comedy Festival. But now, according to Variety, Terry Jones has roped together the group to voice aliens in his upcoming movie Absolutely Anything.

Releasing a film is a delicate art that try as I might, I never truly understand. Who would think that Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Heath Ledger‘s final film, directed by Terry Gilliam one of the creative minds in Hollywood, with a supporting cast that includes three of the hottest men in Hollywood, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell would be difficult to get into theaters? Are blue-flying cat people all audiences can think about? Because Gilliam might have some in floating around in the background of this dream-like fantasy!
Although we reviewed the film and posted our interview with Terry Gilliam weeks ago and told you to go and see it, it was only playing in a grand total of 4 theaters in both LA and NY combined. Many of you complained and rightly so! But your cries have been heard (proving that you have a say as to what’s in theaters, NOT just studios) and starting this week on January 8th, the film will finally make its way into 500 theaters around the US for audiences to enjoy!
Below is a full list of theaters that will be playing Gilliam’s ”fantastical morality tale.” Enjoy…

When you think of a Terry Gilliam film, wild images, colors and creations come to mind. As Gilliam walked into the intimate press conference that was held for The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, you could tell his personality is just as unique as his films. He walked in, wearing a patterned button down shirt, his hair was loosely tied back in a ponytail, and he went straight to the window and looked out to admire the view from the 9th floor of the Four Seasons. With a smile he sat down and with open arms welcomed questions of all sorts.
He spoke openly and freely, perfectly aware of what others have said about him, both good and bad, and unafraid to talk about anything we were willing to bring up. He spoke about his goals as a film-maker, how he always tries to create an experience for his audience to take in and not necessarily analyze. Most importantly the tries to create films for people to enjoy.
There were of course questions asked about Heath Ledger’s final performance and Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell stepping in to finish the film. What was beautiful was that Gilliam didn’t skirt the issue but answered the questions honestly, showing that there are no dark secrets to Ledger’s death and that he more than anyone saw the beauty in Ledger’s talents and misses him dearly…

Now, according to Collider its been revealed that the actor in question is Oscar winner, Robert Duvall!

Have you ever sat in a theater and watched a film that went on for entirely too long? For me, Zack Snyder‘s Watchmen comes to mind, but there’s something out there that makes that movie look like a 10 minute short. According to The Telegraph, the world’s longest film will be screened over in France later this month and again early next year, and you won’t believe how long it is.

It is finally upon us – as I type the crowds are thronged outside the Grauman’s Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard for the American Film Institute Film Festival Opening Gala and North American Premiere of Wes Anderson’s stop-motion fable Fantastic Mr Fox (already covered by Screencrave from the London Film Festival – ahead of the game as usual).

Hello everyone in LA, it’s Ben here, reporting from London. Now as some of you already know, Terry Gilliam’s new film The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus is already out in the UK, and it will not be out in America until Christmas Day. So here is a ‘First Look’ of the film for all of you to have have to wait. Also, know that this piece is 100% Spoiler Free…
For those of you who don’t know the story it’s about a man named Doctor Parnassus (Christopher Plummer) who leads a traveling theatre troupe who literally transport audiences into a realm of strange wonders. But he risks losing the soul of his daughter in a bet with the devil that newcomer Tony (Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, Colin Farrell) might help or hinder.

I have to say I’m a bit disappointed by the latest poster for Terry Gilliam‘s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. It’s not horrible and is definitely worth checking out but something about it is lacking and I can’t put my finger on it. A video has also popped up online showing various promoters of the film in the U.K. spreading the word out about the feature the old fashioned way.
Check out the poster and the video…
