Terry Gilliam to take one more stab at Don Quixote!

I hope it goes better than it did the first time. If anyone has ever seen LOST IN LA MANCHA, it is one of the saddest films ever made. But, essentially, Gilliam should not have started production until he had enough money.

I don't get enough time to follow cinema as well as theatre but Terry Gilliam's unique and off-the-wall vision always interests me. So I'm hoping it happens as well.

That was one screw up of what turned out to be a Cluster F*ck, Winston! They also lost all their camera equipment in a flash flood and stood by helpless as it washed by their encampment. The whole production seemed under a black cloud.
I was actually working in Barcelona on a commercial shoot and some of the crew had just gotten off that project. They went on and on about all the mishaps. Seems Don Quixote is a cursed property.

I recommend Lost in La Mancha to people frequently. I need to watch that again, it's been quite a while.

Yes, Winston, the man playing Don Quixote (I've forgotten his name! ) injured his back.

Gilliam always has trouble with money; yet he somehow manages to make his films his own way. Even if they're complete disasters, they're usually more interesting and more visually stunning than those of a lot of successful directors with barrels of CGI at their command.

Anyone know if TIDELAND was any good?
