Gilliam's IMAGINARIUM will be released in the US

Coming Soon is reporting that Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus has finally secured distribution in the US and will open this Christmas.

I'm excited... But the more I hear about the movie, the more I get Baron Munchausen flashbacks. Really, a movie featuring the final performance of Heath Ledger, along with Jude Law, Colin Farrell and Johnny Depp, should not have had this much trouble finding a distributor!

Maybe it's just too good for the suits, like Brazil was. Or maybe it's a big, confusing, boring mess, like Munchausen. Well, at least now we'll finally get a chance to decide for ourselves.
