Twitter Updates For Gilliam's DOCTOR PARNASSUS Go Live!! + New MONTY PYTHON Docu-Thingie Coming Soon (From Alan Parker)!!

Published at:  Mar 31, 2009 1:42:04 PM CDT


Merrick here...



The Powers That Be on Terry Gilliam's THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS have launched Twitter updates that you can sign up to receive HERE.

Twitter users (what're they called - Twitterers? Twits?) will be updated regarding production happenings as the film inches towards global release, and presumably finds a U.S. distributor.

A few days ago we learned that Gilliam was also involved with an Alan Parker directed documentary(ish) thing called MONTY PYTHON: ALMOST THE TRUTH (THE LAYWER'S CUT), along with PYTHON alum Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, and John Cleese. Look for it on IFC here in the States - a DVD/Blu-Ray release should follow 'round October. More details re: ALMOST THE TRUTH, including celebrity guests who'll be appearing, can be found HERE.

The entire MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS BBC series was released as a "Collectors Edition Megaset" shortly before Christmas, which can be found HERE.

    Definitely seems like the most interesting think Gilliam has done since Fear and Loathing. Tideland was simply terrible. I couldn't sit though it.

    "Tweeters", I would guess

    by rupee88

    and can't blame the Python guys from milking every penny out of the franchise, but it is getting a bit old at this point (and that's coming from a huge MP fan).

    by iamlegolas

    that Dr. Parnassus is a return to 80's fantasy form for Gilliam. Also definitely checking out that MP documentary. Will Graham Chapman play Sir Not Appearing In This Film?

    Isn't it awfully nice to have a penis?

    by biggusdickus

    Isn't it frightfully good to have a dong?It's swell to have a stiffy, it's divine to own a dick.From the tiniest little todger to the world's biggest prick.So three cheers for your Willy or John Thomas.Hooray for your one-eyed trouser snake.Your piece of pork, your wife's best friend, your Percy or your cock.You can wrap it up in ribbons, you can slip it in your sock.But don't take it out in public or they'll stick you in the dock.And you won't - come - back. Thank you very much.

    Is about as dead as Graham Chapman. Looking forward to Gilliam's new flick. I really do like all his stuff with the exception of the Brothers Grimm which could have been something far more special. Oh, and Python never gets old.

    Good call. I'll have to keep that in mind for when we finish the series. Currently only the 2000-2007 episodes were produced.

    It's really hard for me to stick to 140 characters though. :/ My name's not the same there. I'm sooooo incognito on the internets. I've been following John Cleese too but I never know what he's talking about.
