The Vorrh

At one point Gilliam was very interested in the way Dave McKean made "Mirrormask"... Meaning, for cheap I think he was interested in pursuing the same esthetic for Defective Detective at one point. To be honest I, too, think such an approach (close to Nix's approach, too) would work for Gilliam, a mix of CGI and make up with a strong "unreal" esthetic allowing to bridge the gap between cinema and theatre and managing to get by without photorealistic effects.

Absolutely! I’m sure a small, talented team and modest budget could produce something spectacular with Gilliam at the helm. The flexibility of such an approach could produce a new form freed of the marketplace demands of theatrical distribution.   I love the cinema (when the audience is respectful) but things have changed for the distribution of and perhaps the very meaning of the moving image. Indeed, we are seemingly in a state of constant flux. It would be great to see Gilliam free to really push/explore this moment.
