In an absolute miracle 17 years in the making, Indiewire reports that director Terry Gilliam’s long-gestating passion project The Man Who Killed Don Quixote is finally going before cameras once again. Right now. Check out the promotional poster in the gallery below!

 

As announced last year, Adam Driver (Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Silence) will play the lead role originally shot by Johnny Depp in the cancelled 2000 version, and earmarked in the ensuing years for actors such as Jack O’Connell and Ewan McGregor. It is also noted that Gilliam regular Jonathan Pryce (Brazil, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, The Brothers Grimm) will take on the role of Miguel de Cervantes’ famous Man of La Mancha, taking over from previously-cast Michael Palin, Robert Duvall, Jean Rochefort and the late John Hurt.

 

I can't find a thread for this one. This is different from the Disney one, right?

It won't I guess, since Amazon is the one financing it I think.

This is true. It should release in theaters just fine. Whether or not it's a limited release will probably be based on the level of weirdness/accessibility.

From the sounds of it, the people trying to shut it down don't really have a leg to stand on so hopefully they move past it quickly.

I'm no Frenchmatician but apparently this is coming out in May 2018 (in France, anyway).

The hype is real.

I hope it's good. Terry Gilliam's career nosedived after this project didn't make it in early 00s. It's like he never got over it. 

[SLAM!]

This film has the potential to catch on with the mainstream if the nearly-two-decades-in-the-making narrative catches enough eyes. I hope this is good. Adam Driver is a good choice and his star-power will probably rise after The Last Jedi.
