Terry Gilliam makes new attempt to complete “Don Quixote”

PanARMENIAN.Net - Terry Gilliam has announced a new attempt to complete The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, Digital Spy said.

The writer/director will once again tackle the adaptation of Miguel de Cervantes's seminal novel following a series of failed attempts.

"I'm going to try to do Don Quixote again," Gilliam told Coming Soon. "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."

Production on The Man Who Killed Don Quixote began in 2000, with Jean Rochefort as Quixote and Johnny Depp in the role of Sancho Panza.

A series of freak accidents including a flash flood and Rochefort suffering a herniated disc led to the cancellation of shooting. These events are catalogued in the Lost in La Mancha documentary.

Several failed attempts to get the production back on track have been made in the intervening years.

Gilliam's The Zero Theorem premiered during this summer's festival season and will be released in cinemas on March 14.
