Monica Bellucci has been cast as the evil queen of the forest in Terry Gilliam's BROTHERS GRIMM movie. Bellucci's character is a sorceress who kidnaps virgins to harvest their blood so she can stay forever young and beautiful. Most guys (myself included) who saw Bellucci in THE MATRIX RELOADED as Percephone wouldn't have a problem with this blood shedding thing if it meant she's going to wear one of those snug latex corsets again.

Matt Damon and Heath Ledger play the two Grimm siblings who are actually con artists, duping simple townsfolk into believing they're the Middle Ages equivalent of the Ghostbusters. The brothers are called to the task when they investigate the haunted forest where Bellucci's character resides. The film is scheduled for a mid- or fall 2004 opening.
