Note the director and subject matter

* Director Terry Gilliam will have “The Brothers Grimm,” starring Matt Damon and Heath Ledger in a fairy tale about the guys who made up fairy tales.

Ah sweet crack, (oh, I meant google)

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Apparently he's also in production for "Good Omens", written by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.

i'm feeling too lazy even for Google this morning. thanks for doing my dirty work for me. ;^)

never saw Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.. you? i can't stand movies about drug use though so i probably wouldn't like it. HATED Trainspotting, Blow, etc.

Friends of mine who have done acid say that "Fear and Loathing" was the most accurate depiction of it ever.

I saw it and liked it, but once was enough. I do like reading Hunter S. Thompson's stuff, though.
