Terry Gilliam Has Cast His Don Quixote
4 November 2009 12:47 AM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
While making the rounds to promote The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, director Terry Gilliam hasn.t been shy about teasing his next project, Don Quixote. He has of course, tried this before. It went so badly that the movie was never finished and an entire documentary (and a rather good documentary, Lost in La Mancha is worth your time if you haven.t seen it) was made about what a failure the whole thing was. Now he seems determined to try again and what.s more, the project may be further along than we thought. It seems Terry Gilliam.s do over on Don Quixote wasn.t just idle talk. In fact, he wants to start filming as soon as this coming April. He even told Collider that he.s already cast someone to play the titular Quixote. No, he doesn.t say who it is. I can tell you »
Gilliam talks Quixote

"If I get a major motion picture star life becomes easier" Terry Gilliam told the Folks of Collider during a video sit-down yesterday. The quirky director was being asked about his next project, which he intends to be a second go a The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. Gilliam's ill-fated efforts to make that film with Johnny Depp a few years ago were well documented in Lost In La Mancha, where it is revealed the project ended up in the bank's possession and Gilliam had to close shop... »

Terry Gilliam To Chase Windmills Once Again
9 October 2009 7:19 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
“The Brothers Grimm” aside, I tend to believe that Monty Python alumni Terry Gilliam is a cinematic genius. “Brazil” is one of my favorite movies ever bestowed upon mankind, as is “Time Bandits” and the slightly misunderstood “Tideland.” As such, I’m pretty pumped to hear that the director’s long-awaited dream project, “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote,” is on the fast track to becoming a reality. For those who are a little slow on the uptake, Gilliam’s adventures in Quixoteland were chronicled in Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe’s 2002 documentary “Lost in La Mancha,” a film that should be seen by anyone with a passing interest in how movies are made. I highly recommend checking it out. Good stuff all the way around and back again. While doing a little PR work for the British premiere of “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus,” Gilliam had quite a bit »

Terry Gilliam Returns to La Mancha Next Spring
7 October 2009 10:06 PM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Terry Gilliam's tormented production of The Man Who Killed Don Quixote looks like it's finally on solid ground. Hey, it only took about nine years.
Gilliam first began work on Don Quixote back in 2000, but the film got wildly out of control, both because of internal and external influences (a flood ruined sets and actor Jean Rochefort was seriously injured during the production). So the money and the film both vanished. You can watch the documentary Lost in La Mancha to find out more. »

Terry Gilliam Will Get Don Quixote Back In The Saddle
7 October 2009 3:08 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
The Man Who Killed Don Quixote suffered from such an immense case of bad luck, someone made a documentary about its failure. Lost in La Mancha showed the details of the dismal first attempt by Terry Gilliam to get Don Quixote to the big screen. On top of the film.s fragile schedule and budget the cast and crew suffered through a number of calamities including noise from an aircraft target practice site, a flash flood and the lead actor, Jean Rochefort, suffering a herniated disc. Are these signs the movie shouldn.t be made? Certainly not to Gilliam. While at the premiere for The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Gilliam told Empire .We're up and running again, we've rewritten the script and finally got it back, the budget's come in ... and I think we've found our Quixote! But who's it going to be? Well, I'm not going to tell you, »
Terry Gilliam Has His New Don Quixote; And the Winner Is…
7 October 2009 1:29 PM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Terry Gilliam's film The Man Who Killed Don Quixote has had such a troubled birth that it has become the stuff of cinema legend. The project, once the subject of the great documentary Lost in La Mancha, was famously beset by natural disasters and an incapacitated lead actor when Gilliam originally tried to shoot it in 2000. The director is going to try again, with a new cast and slightly different script. And now he claims he's got one of the principal actors locked. Trouble is, he's not revealing the name. Gilliam tells Empire "We're up and running again, we've rewritten the script and finally got it back, the budget's come in... and I think we've found our Quixote! But who's it going to be?" Answer: wait until next year. Gah! Jean Rochefort was the film's original Don Quixote, but a back injury rendered him unable to ride a horse »

Gilliam Finds His Don Quixote

At The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus premiere yesterday Terry Gilliam let slip that the once abandoned film The Man Who Killed Don Quixote (whose eventual demise lives on the documentary Lost In La Mancha) is back on track - and he's found the right man for the job. "We're up and running again, we've rewritten the script and finally got it back, the budget's come in... and I think we've found our Quixote! But who's it going to be? Well, I'm not going to tell you, but it'll start next Spring."Earlier in the week Gilliam described the film to us as a "donkey, and now it has three of its legs", so while there are essential elements still to find, things are looking promising for the once ill-fated project.So there's light at the end of the tunnel for the film that's become a byword for bad luck in the business. »
Terry Gilliam's The Man Who Killed Don Quixote Moving Forward
7 October 2009 6:33 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
We reported earlier this year that Terry Gilliam would finally get to make the film he tried to make a decade ago, and now it seems that the film is taking serious steps forward. Empire recently spoke to Gilliam at the British premiere of his new film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, who revealed that things are looking up for The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. Here's an excerpt from the article.
"We're up and running again, we've rewritten the script and finally got it back, the budget's come in... and I think we've found our Quixote! But who's it going to be? Well, I'm not going to tell you, but it'll start next Spring."

Tiff ‘09: The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
12 September 2009 2:46 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus Directed by Terry Gilliam For most filmmakers, the death of a principal performer in the midst of a production is a crippling disaster. For Terry Gilliam, it almost seems par for the course. Over the span of his entire career, his films have either been threatened, damaged or cut down outright by studio meddling (Brazil), intense self-doubt on Gilliam's part (12 Monkeys) or some freakish combination of all things that could possibly go wrong (his failed, and recently re-ignited, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, chronicled in the documentary Lost In La Mancha). So it's perhaps fitting that his most energized effort in some time seemed to be thrown into turmoil by the sudden death of Heath Ledger, to whom The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is dedicated. Gilliam seems to work optimally whilst under duress of one kind or another, and while Parnassus is hardly his best film, »

Johnny Depp officially Not Don Quixote, says Terry Gilliam
6 August 2009 3:53 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
According to The Independent newspaper in the UK, Johnny Depp will not appear in Terry Gilliam's soon-to-be-re-charged The Man Who Killed Don Quixote film. Nope!
Gilliam told the newspaper:
"I can now honestly say that I'm not working with Johnny on Don Quixote. He's booked himself up on a lot of other films."
"I want to shoot Don Quixote next year. "He [Depp] said he's not available and we have both agreed that I'm going to die soon, so it would be nice to get this film under my belt." The director added.
"We've written it and we're out there hunting actors and money as we speak."
Gilliam tried to make the film many years ago, to no avail, despite the film actually making it into production (with Depp), which is now part of Hollywood history after being immortalised in the feature documentary Lost In La Mancha. »

Depp Pulls Out Of Don Quixote Movie
6 August 2009 1:16 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Johnny Depp has pulled out of starring in a movie about Spanish literary legend Don Quixote - after a series of disasters delayed the filming schedule by a decade.
Eccentric director Terry Gilliam lined up Depp and Jean Rochefort to appear in the film back in 2000, and his attempts to make The Man Who Killed Don Quixote were chronicled by filmmakers Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe in 2002 movie Lost in La Mancha.
The filming of the oddball epic was set back by scheduling and financial issues and weather-damaged sets, but Gilliam has always been adamant the project will go ahead with Depp on board.
Rochefort pulled out of the movie after suffering a herniated disc - and now the Pirates of the Caribbean actor has followed suit, due to scheduling conflicts.
Gilliam, 68, says, "I can now honestly say that I'm not working with Johnny on Don Quixote. He's booked himself up on a lot of other films.
"I wanted to shoot Don Quixote next spring. He said he's not available and we have both agreed that I'm going to die soon, so it would be nice to get this film under my belt."
Depp was among the movie stars who stepped in to help Gilliam complete his film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus after Heath Ledger's death last year. »
Terry Gilliam officially bringing Don Quixote back

Never one to be beaten by a situation, Terry Gilliam is revving up The Man Who Killed Don Quixote for a second – and, now he has backing, hopefully successful – attempt. You probably know the horror story that hit the original 2000 production – freakish weather, destroyed sets and back injuries that delayed lead Jean Rochefort from completing his role. The film was abandoned back then, and became part of the fascinating 2002 documentary Lost In La Mancha (below). Now Gilliam is trying again, with producer...

Terry Gilliam isn’t quitting on Don Quixote
15 May 2009 7:36 AM, PDT | SmellsLikeScreenSpirit | See recent SmellsLikeScreenSpirit news »
he Man Who Killed Don Quixote is now back on from the man who aspires to never let it die, Mr. Terry Gilliam. The original October 2000 attempt at the film was captured in the documentary Lost In La Mancha, which chronicled the legendary plagued production of The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. In it we got a personal view of the filmmakers dealing with catastrophe after catastrophe - like the Spanish Air Force running training maneuvers over their location shoots, destructive bad weather, illness, insurance issues, legal battles, and so on, forcing Gilliam to abort production. The documentary should be seen by any aspiring filmmaker as an example of what can go wrong will go wrong, to prepare them for the worst. Lucky for us, Gilliam is hard headed and doesn't like to give up »

Found In La Mancha?

Producer Jeremy Thomas has confirmed widespread rumors that he and Terry Gilliam are at work reviving Gilliam's disaster-plagued 2000 production of Don Quixote. The story of the ill-starred movie -- plagued by weather disasters, a disabling injury to its star, and other on-set mishaps -- was told in the 2002 documentary Lost in La Mancha. Thomas told the British trade publication Screen Daily at the Cannes Film Festival that he had spent the past 10 months retrieving the rights to the film (which had passed to the company that insured the film after the production was halted) and that Gilliam will direct it. "We're both really excited to get it underway," he said. He indicated, however, that he has not yet talked to Johnny Depp, who had originally been set to star in the movie, to determine "whether he wants to be involved." »
Gilliam Gives Quixote Another Try

Ladies and gentlemen, stand up and cheer! Terry Gilliam is once again working on The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, the unmade film that has become a legend. Never one to let such small matters as Spanish air force manoeuvers, catastrophically bad weather, his leading man's illness, insurance woes, legal woes and other woes stand in his way, Gilliam is once again planning to put the film into production.As anyone who's seen Lost In La Mancha, the excellent documentary of Gilliam's sadly aborted shoot of his film, knows, everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong - and it was heartbreaking. But Gilliam never gave up, having spent the last several years involved in legal wrangling over the rights in order to get back to making the film.This time, he and screenwriter Tony Grisoni have updated the screenplay based only loosely on Cervantes' masterpiece, which sees »

Gilliam Hopes To Revive Quixote Film
14 May 2009 2:55 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Eccentric moviemaker Terry Gilliam is planning to revive his 'disaster' movie about Spanish literary legend Don Quixote.
The director's attempts to make the oddball epic, starring Johnny Depp and Jean Rochefort, were chronicled by filmmakers Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe in 2002 movie Lost in La Mancha.
In the documentary, Gilliam lost his cool on set as he was faced with scheduling and financial issues and weather-damaged sets.
But the experience hasn't put the former Monty Python star off - he's reviving The Man Who Killed Don Quixote with British producer Jeremy Thomas, who has picked up the rights to the movie adaptation of Miguel de Cervantes' classic 17th century romantic novel.
Gilliam and screenwriter Tony Grisoni have rewritten and updated the script, according to Daily Variety.
The director is in talks with Depp to revive his role in the film as a modern-day ad executive, who travels back in time and is mistaken for Quixote's sidekick Sancho Panza by the windmill-fighting knight..
Depp was among the movie stars who stepped in to help Gilliam complete his film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus after his star Heath Ledger's death last year. »
