Brendan Fletcher ("Freddy vs. Jason") has been tapped for a role in the Terry Gilliam-helmed "Tideland," adapted from Mitch Cullin's novel about a girl who es-capes from the grim reality of her life into a world of fantasy, where she is accompanied on her adventures by four disembodied doll heads.

Co-penned by Gilliam and Tony Grisoni, the British/Canadian co-production will feature Fletcher in the role of Dickens.
