Who's the guy who directed Reservoir Dogs?  He would be an ideal director
for such a sweeping, chaotic vision.

> Starring (in no particular order)

>         Oliver Reed or Tom Baker as Grandad (in Magna of Illusion)
                Peter O'Toole
>         Alan Rickman or Basil Rathbone as Baron von Frankenstein
                Michael Douglas (a la Black Rain)
>         Jeremy Irons as Dr John Dee (occult advisor to Elizabeth)
                Whoever played Doc Holliday (Holiday?) in Wyatt Earp
