Terry Gilliam has agreed to act as a creative advisor on a new film by British digital animation specialist, Tim Ollive. 1884 will be set in the titular year, but with Europe at war, the sky filled with steam-powered flying cars and man having landed on the moon.
Director Ollive collaborated with Gilliam on the SFX for everything from Life of Brian, through Brazil and Twelve Monkeys up to the more recent The Brothers Grimm. The screenplay is by Ollive and Dennis de Groot, who also has a long history with Gilliam, having worked on Life of Brian and Time Bandits. Gilliam and the other producers showed a four-minute teaser to an FX forum in Paris last week and apparently a number of the former members of Monty Python will be on board the film as part of the voice cast. Gilliam has said of what he has seen so far:-...

Terry Gilliam and visual effects artist Tim Ollive are teaming for "1884" which is described as an $8 million "mixed-media adventure" reports Variety.
The project is described as an espionage story set in an alternate 1884 where the industrial revolution went a lot further and faster along than it has - resulting in a futuristic imperial metropolis beset with steam-powered flying cars and the scientific advancement of mankind.
The story will mix animation, live-action puppetry and CGI while the backgrounds will blend period photography, miniatures and graphics. Ollive will direct while Gilliam will serve as both producer and "creative advisor", and says that the visuals are "not slick and sleek CG work, such as studios in L.A. particularly produce. It looks crafted by an artisan, and the scale and design are spectacular."

Though it wasn't really meant to work out this way, a sequence of test footage for Tim Ollive's amazing-looking steampunk sci-fi comedy 1884 has started to wind its way across the internet. You will find a good quality version linked after the break. Prepare to be hooked. Ollive is a renowned model maker and long time collaborator of Terry Gilliam's. Way back on Life of Brian, Ollive was not only the fabricator but also one of the operators of the alien puppets seen in the space craft. I'm told he also built the neon sign that provides Gilliam's Brazil with an opening title. Suffice to say, he has some serious skills in design, manufacture and puppeteering - all of which are shown to awesome effect in the test footage below. Olliv'es co-screenwriter on 1884 is Dennis DeGroot, a production designer with an incredible resume that takes in most of the...
