Terry Gilliam’s unique body of work is perhaps best viewed as the last bastion of pure imagination in a studio system increasingly ruled by bean-counters. Though not always successful, his films are always interesting, and even his failures – The Man Who Killed Don Quixote being a paramount example- contain more than enough to maintain that interest. Coupled with the untimely loss of leading man Heath Ledger, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus arrives groaning with a weight of expectation it struggles to meet.

Disappointing news for Bat-Fans.
Unconfirmed news reports, but from a notoriously reliable source suggest that Christopher Nolan, the man who changed Batman from an embarrassment to the comic-book-to-movie sub-genre to a truly kick-ass franchise may not return for the third installment.
According to the source, the death of Heath Ledger hit Nolan hard, not only on a personal level, but professional too, as the third Bat-Flick was to have a strong focus on The Joker. The insider knowledge goes on to state that the first we an expect to see the third movie will be in 2012.
The only good point about this may be that the window can give studios a chance to develop other DC Comics properties.
Green Lantern anyone?
