Back From the Depths... Gilliam's DON QUIXOTE!!!

Adam Driver and Jonathan Pryce?

Awww ****.
 
LOL, for a moment there I thought you mean Pryce had actually died.
 
On Facebook, Gilliam says they've finally wrapped principal photography on the damn thing.
 
Gilliam’s “Don Quixote” Is Almost Done

It may have taken him a good portion of his life, but Terry Gilliam’s dream-turned-nightmare and back to dream again project “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote” is almost finished.
Jonathan Pryce, Adam Driver, Olga Kurylenko, Joana Ribeiro, and Stellan Skarsgard star in the film about an arrogant publicist returning to the village where he shot his student film adaptation of ‘Don Quixote’. He discovers the terrible effect his project had on the town, leading to an unlikely adventure.
Speaking with The New York Times, Gilliam confirms the film is still in post-production, but he’s already been screening a rough cut and so far response has been good:
“We’ve almost finished the cut. We’re just fiddling now, figuring out a few things here and there so it’s pretty much what it is. We’ve got still months of work to do on visual effects, sound, music. But as far as the tale, it’s pretty tight now and it’s surprisingly wonderful.
I always hesitate to get too optimistic or too excited about the work I’m doing. I’d rather try to stay cynical and slightly distant from it. When you fall in love with something, it’s painful when it doesn’t work for everybody else. But all the people who’ve seen it so far – they used the words, ‘We’re in love with this.’ So let’s see if they’re right.”
There’s no word as yet on a release date or potential premiere – but a Cannes Festival 2018 premiere seems a likely possibility. Amazon Studios will release the film in U.S., Canada and the UK hopefully late next year.
 
Gilliam’s “Don Quixote” In Peril Yet Again

It seemed that filmmaker Terry Gilliam’s cursed dream project “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote” was finally in the clear. The long in-development film, which was partly shot then abandoned then slowly resurrected over nearly twenty years, was finally shot last year with Adam Driver and Jonathan Pryce starring.
At last report people have seen a rough version of the film to a very good response and there were hopes the film would premiere at Cannes next month. Now though, the film’s future is in jeopardy according to a recent report by French media outlet France Inter (via The Playlist).
In 2016, Gilliam and producer Paulo Branco reached an agreement in which Branco would provide the necessary funding for the project and Gilliam would have full creative freedom, in exchange for the rights to the film to go to Branco.
When Branco reportedly provided none of the promised funding, Gilliam moved on and found another producer who funded it and finally got it going. Now Branco has popped up again, with a claim that the film is not to be released until he gives permission since he claims he owns the rights to the project based on that 2016 contract.
Gilliam feels that the contract was rendered void due to Branco not holding up his end of it. It’s now in court with Gilliam suing Branco over the rights, but a judgment won’t be handed down until June 15th which means a Cannes premiere is out either way. If Gilliam loses in court, the film may never see the light of day.
 
Jesus, Gilliam can't catch a freaking break, can he.
 
I think we will eventually see the movie, but boy has Gilliam had it rough with this project.

Oh my, crazy to finally see some footage from this thing. I hope it does get released soon.
 
This film is truly cursed! Doesn't look like this film will ever get released now.

After a decades-long production process that saw several failed iterations and even a documentary about its making, Terry Gilliam’s “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote” appeared to have a happy ending when it finally premiered at Cannes last month. Mixed reviews followed, and now Gilliam has lost a protracted court battle over the rights to his long-delayed passion project: The Paris Court of Appeal has ruled in favor of former producer Paulo Branco, who sued Gilliam over rights to the project.
...
“We will be seeking damages with interest from all the people involved in this illegal production and above all, all those who were complicit in its illegal exploitation. We’re holding everyone responsible.”

He got it made. No one said it would ever get released. :o
 
Someone (*cough*Gilliam*cough*) should just leak it online anonymously at this point. Screw Paulo Branco, so petty.
 
I don't know how French courts work, is there a Supreme Court he can appeal to still?
 
they need to make this into a movie. 20 years later kids will say that something like that can not happen and is bs.


Just how much bad luck can a director have?
 
This is a shame because I want to see it, LOL!

Paul Giamatti as Terry Gilliam.

Jeremy Irons as Jean Rochefort.

Johnny Depp as himself.

Gary Oldman as Paulo Branco.
 
This is just more fuel to turn Gilliam into even more of a cranky old ****er than he already is.
 
I would like to apologize on Paulo Branco's behalf as a fellow portuguese.
