From an interview with Matt Damon, in which he discusses briefly the The Brothers Grimm and the arguments between director Terry Gilliam and producer Harvey Weinstein over the prosthetic nose that Gilliam insited Damon be allowed to wear:
“I think this is a good story,” [Damon] says with a laugh. “In the course of their arguments Harvey said, ‘I’m not going to have the star of my movie unrecognisable, because you can’t put him on the poster — nobody will know who it is.’ Terry Gilliam and (Ocean’s series director) Steven Soderbergh are friendly and for Ocean’s Thirteen Steven wrote in a whole thing where Linus, my character, wears a fake nose.
I’ve yet to see The Brothers Grimm but, from what I understand, a fake nose alone wouldn’t have fixed what’s wrong with it.
No, it really wouldn’t have. Which is sad, because you can see the potential for coolness threaded all throughout that movie, it just someone manages to never quite be there.
Or so I recall. I saw it a while ago, and there was very little about it that stuck very well in my head.
