Terry Gilliam's Next Project Will Be THE MAN WHO KILLED DON QUIXOTE
It looks like director Terry Gilliam is actually going to get around to making his cursed film project The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. While promoting his next film, Zero Theorem, Comingsoon caught up with the director, and he revealed that Don Quixote could be his next film! Here's the quote,
"I'm going to try to do Don Quixote again. I think this is the seventh time. Lucky seven, maybe. We'll see if it happens. This is kind of my default position, going back to that. I actually just want to make it and get rid of it. Get it out of my life."
For those of you not familiar with this project, Gilliam began production on it in 2000 with Jean Rochefort as Quixote and Johnny Depp in the role of Sancho Panza. The shoot ended up being riddled with problems, and it was a disaster. The movie was never completed. There is a great behind-the-scenes documentary on the cursed production called Lost in La Mancha, which was released in 2002. It's a must watch if you haven't seen it yet.
There's no information on who will be involved with the film, but some of the previous attempts at bringing the film to life included Robert Duvall as Don Quixote and Ewan McGregor as the Sancho Panza. Hopefully Gilliam actually gets to make it this time!
