After experiencing the shutdown of his last film in mid-production (DON QUIXOTE), it would seem that Terry Gilliam's bad run of luck is continuing to play out. Dimension Films has pushed back the release of Gilliam's next film, THE BROTHERS GRIMM, nearly a full year. The studio had been scheduling a February 2005 release for the $70 million dollar fantasy-action movie but has now decided to reschedule its release until November 23, 2005. For Gilliam fans who had been awaiting the director's next picture, that's more than 14 months away.

Matt Damon and Heath Ledger play the two 18th centuory storytelling brothers who go from town to town inventing tall tales of supernatural trouble so they can fleece the townsfolk. When the brothers are hired by the French government to invesitgate claims of a haunted forest, they encounter a real witch (played by Monica Bellucci) and must find a way to defeat her.
