Former MONTY PYTHON member and director of the upcoming fantasy “THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS,” TERRY GILLIAM,  sat down with us last week to talk about fantasy, film and the corrupt nature of big money, high-tech movies. It’s GILLIAM’S thought that the more money studios throw at filmmakers, the more people must be answered to and that distorts the original vision. (Frankly, after seeing JIM CARREY’s 3-D version of A CHRISTMAS CAROL, we’re inclined to agree). Click on the media bar below for audio:

THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS opens in theaters 12/25.
