I wasn't sure if this was pure horror or not, but it has potential to be pretty f-ing messed up... And it was on Creature-Corner.com so:
Everyone out there should be crossing their fingers and holding their breaths, because Terry Gilliam is working on a new movie, and we all know how risky that can be. The movie in question is 'The Brothers Grimm', working from a script by 'Ring' scribe Ehren Krueger. Now that the brothers have been cast (Matt Damon and Heath Ledger to be exact), some of the smaller roles are starting to be filled in, and replaced.
Nicole Kidman was apparently attached to play an evil queen who is only seen in paintings for most of the film but comes to life at the end. Since she's taking a role in every other movie currently in production, however, she's had to bow out and is being replaced by the lovely Uma Thruman. That's a tough call...Kidman's a redhead, I have a weakness there, but she also looks like a mega-bitch most of the time, while Uma seems like the kinda chick you could hang out with...Not that I'll ever have to make that decision.
Fango's unveiled a bit more about the plot, as well. The titular brothers travel the Napoleonic countryside, vanquishing fake evil in exchange for cash. When the French government catches wind of what their doing, they send the brothers north to investigate a string of mysterious murders, and not finding the killer means a quick trip to the guillotine.
'The Brothers Grimm' is set for release in 2004, barring any Gilliam-esque tragedies.

Sounds like a PERFECT movie for Gilliam... This has moved near the top of my most anticipated list for 2004!!
