Who doesn't like Terry Gilliam? Reading about this just gets more and more fascinating. I'm for sure going to go see it.... out January 8th 2010!
Apparently in addition to Heath Ledger dying during production, their producer died just after the end and Mr. Gilliam got his back broken by a car o_O Apparently also, when the three new actors, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law were brought in to be alternate forms of Heath Ledger's character they gave all the money they would have received to his daughter who got left out of his money somehow. All these people just sound really cool.. heh. Not to make it sound trite.. :P
"The production was beset by further bad luck when producer William Vince died one week after shooting was done, and while on post-production Gilliam himself was hit by a car and broke his back. Gilliam recalled: "So I thought, it was third time lucky - they just didn't get me. They got the star, the producer and they were going for the director and the fuckers failed on the last one. Whoever they are...". "They were going for the trinity [...] That would have been a tidy end to the whole thing. But they didn't kill me. I'm stuck here to tell the tale.""
