They didn't. Apparently they got Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell to finish his part. Obviously they had to modify the original story, which I believe will make this even more surreal. It seems to have a faustian plot, too. I'm all about this.
I wish i could watch it.... but i can't watch videos at work. I can't even do reg RTTP cause it "looks" like a message board, at least text mode looks like i'm working.
Good movie, but like all these British surrealist films it goes on forever, and gets so convoluted that you have no idea what's even going on anymore.
Example: Mirrormask. Sweet film. But if you asked me what it was about I couldn't tell you.
there were definitely times while watching this that i thought "where is this going?" but i still think the plot and characters were better developed than the vast majority of movies out there these days. it had visual appeal and substance.
