After years and years
of failed attempts, and a feature documentary following its many false starts
titled Lost in La Mancha, Terry Gilliam's loose take on Miguel Cervantes tall
tale The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha is back on track.
Portuguese producer
Paulo Branco will produce Gilliam's The Man Who Killed Don Quixote under his
Paris-based Alfama Films label, alongside Spain's Tornasol Films, and Leopardo
Filmes, another Portuguese company.
The budget has been set at
$18.25 million or €16 million, and
production should begin in September in Spain and Portugal.
Johnny Depp, Ewan
McGregor, and Robert Duvall were at one point or another attached to star in
the film. Unbroken star Jack O'Connell, and legendary actor John Hurt joined
the project some time ago, but it's unclear if they are still onboard.
Branco's Alfama Films
previously produced David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis, and Mathieu Amalric's The
Blue Room.
