Ex-Monty Python star set for comeback

Director and ex-Monty Python star Terry Gilliam is set to make a notable comeback with two films opening back to back, ending the longest dry spell of his 31-year career.

Gilliam has not had a film on screen since Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998).

But with Tideland and The Brothers Grimm he has two films competing at two of Europe's most revered autumn festivals, the Toronto International Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival.
