Elsewhere, ``The Antikythera Mechanism'' is a whimsical musical head trip of psychedelia and fantastic imagery. The results are disjointed and wonderfully weird: art created from, and for, an intimate, one-on-one head trip. Upcoming films include a remake of the Disney comedy ``The Shaggy Dog''; Richard Linklater's animated sci-fi head trip, ``A Scanner Darkly''; Downey's ``Wonder Boys''; director Curtis Hanson's gambling saga, ``Lucky You''; David (``Seven'') Fincher's true-crime piece, ``Zodiac''; the Nicole Kidman-starring biography of photographer Diane Arbus, ``Fur''; and maybe even the title role in Sylvester Stallone's long-awaited movie about Edgar Allan Poe. |
