Compared to the sleek Bohêmes, the Skate Banana (around $600; www.lib-tech.com) seems rough around the edges - but that's the point.

But Gilliam is a handful for studio heads; he has a high ratio of aborted projects. To hire him would have taken balls on New Line's part, and quite possibly an financial death wish...
