Terry Gilliam: 1884

SOooooooo, Terry Gilliam is doing a steampunk animated movie called 1884: Yesterday’s Future. I’m not sure why nobody told me because Terry Gilliam is an anagram in ancient sanskrit for “fucking awesome”.

The man truly behind the movie is digital animation specialist Tim Ollive and Gilliam will co-produce.The film takes place in 1884, even though it’s supposed to have been made in 1848, in a sly reference to George Orwell’s 1984, written in 1948.

The film is currently in preproduction, but an animated test trailer has been released:
