  1. great photo. i've been waiting for this film since i first heard gilliam & ledger were making it. imdb lists a uk opening june 6, 2009,; netherlands, sept. 24; and the czech republic, oct. 10. nothing about the us, but no dates are set in stone. the teaser trailer will have to satisfy me for now. isn't it so...i don't know...kind...that depp, law and farrell gave what would have been their salaries to ledger's daughter? who says there's no humanity in hollywood?
