It's a film based on a book I have not read, but I may be forced to remedy that some time this year. The plot, as IMDB reports it, concerns a young girl taken by her father to a rural farmhouse following the death of her mother by heroin overdose. Once on the farm, the young girl (to be played by newcomer Jodelle Ferland) develops strange habits, including talking aloud to headless Barbie dolls.

Pretty neat, huh? Here's another:

So, yeah, I can't wait to see this one. Gilliam's definitely one of my favorite working directors, and his Brazil ranks among my favorite all-time films. (Also 12 Monkeys and Time Bandits.)
