>Terry Gilliam is making Don Quixote >Again. >FOR REAL THIS TIME
>The Man Who Killed Don Quixote is an upcoming fantasy-adventure-comedy film directed by Terry Gilliam and written by Gilliam and Tony Grisoni, loosely based on the novel Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes. It is widely recognized as one of the most infamous examples of development hell in film history, with Gilliam unsuccessfully attempting to make the film a total of eight times over the span of nineteen years.
>... in March 2017, it was reported that the film had finally started filming for the first time in 17 years, with Jonathan Pryce as Quixote, and Driver still attached as Grisoni.
Meanwhile, Terry Jones is suffering dementia. But no thread for that. Gotta have dat Gilliam. Dem dutch angles dem dutch fucking angles
Jacob Sanchez
when it crashes and burns I hope everyone will finally realize he's not "unlucky"
he's just a shit director with a terrible track record
Hunter Thompson
I thought he had Palin as Quixote?
Ayden Walker
Dementia isn't a project. What are we meant to say? "Oh, that's sad." There's not a thread in that.
Jeremiah Moore
It saddens me when old people don't know when to stop
Joshua Mitchell
yfw he has a heart attack and they have to end the picture early
Adam Gutierrez
This attitude is completely contrary to auteurism, which is the only reason you care about directors in the first place. Some of the greatest films ever made were made by older directors.
Wyatt Morris
my grandma had a type an uncle too now I'm super paranoid about my parents
Aaron Rodriguez
>Time Bandits >Brazil >12 Monkeys >Fear and Loathing >shit director oh please
Eli Russell
>auteurism, which is the only reason you care about directors in the first place You and your ilk need to disappear from my internet. Fuck you.
Xavier Sullivan
Yeah, this is probably a subject for /adv/, not really a cinematic matter particularly.
Adam Walker
if he nails this he can have a go at dune too
Jason Flores
Is your hostility to history connected to your hatred of old people?
Cooper Perez
This. Absolute Kino madman.
Oliver Gray
Reminder this marxist hates America so much he renounced his citizenship and said he hates all Americans.
Liam Walker
plz no, let that shit die
Caleb Clark
When are you gonna list his good movies?
Luis Garcia
those are great, but basically everything after that has been dogshit
Ayden Green
Why the fuck would this bother us? He left, he's not sticking around, good for him.
Christian Evans
I like him even more
Carson Ortiz
>Jonathan Pryce as Quixote
NOW, I'm hype.
Eli Bennett
>loosely based on the novel Don Quixote >The Man Who Killed Don Quixote
*sigh* so, it is not a Don Quixote movie.
Gabriel Watson
>Jonathan Pryce
he looks nothing like don quixote in the book
Chase Butler
They could never do a real Don Quixote movie, it's a huge book and about half of it is irrelevant padding thrown in because Cervantes had a backlog of unsold stories he wanted to finally get paid for after the runaway success of the first volume.
Lincoln Wilson
Honestly, the only "bad" movie he's made is TBG, and it's still entertaining for what it is. His more recent stuff tends to be flawed for various reasons, but still fucking kino. I goddamn love Tideland.
Parker Campbell
Zero Theorem was way under-rated.
Isaac Wright
i hope this film doesn't turn out to be a remake of "Brazil", like "Zero Theorem" was.
And it was staring a DOG. Seriously, gilliam is a joke.
Andrew Rivera
>looks at America now
He made the right decision. But Bong land wasn't the best choice.
Eli Gonzalez
>implying Wishbone wasn't the height of DOG kino
Gilliam never stood a chance
Isaiah Sanchez
No. I think he's interesting, though.
Andrew Torres
>unfilmable it is not. just if you make it a movie, it'll be pretty boring, since don quixote is actually a comedy book which is not funny anymore. so, you have 2 options: make it a wacky comedy, or make it a boring art movie.
Nathan Perez
we must find a way to make it mini tv series.
and, yes. >we
Kayden Bennett
Why is he so obsessed with making THIS movie? Don Quixote was good for it's time but it's shit by today's standards. What makes it appeal to him so much? Did he lose his virginity while reading this book or some gay shit?
Isaac Robinson
>shit by today's standards shit buy comedy, still good by writing. its like a art movie director trying to direct a comedy movie.
Joshua Smith
because it's a challenge.
Andrew Barnes
>17 years to make
Damn right it's a challenge.
Colton Rogers
>loosely based on the novel Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes DROPPED. You either do the real thing with the real plot (minus the stupid filler stories from Vol 1 about those guys that were cucking each other) and more modern dialogues, or you don't do shit
>shit by today's standards Go put a pinetree up your asshole. It's one of the funniest books ever made. And the second volume is one of the greatest works of Mankind
Jordan Morgan
>Don Quixote was good for it's time but it's shit by today's standards 7/10 bait many will fall for it
Brody Martin
Man, next Lynch is actually gonna make Ronnie Rocket.
