Here's a clip from the press conference at Cannes earlier today:
The text below the video (as translated by Google):
Quote:In partnership with the Portuguese producer Paulo Branco, filmmaker Terry Gilliam, known by the group "Monty Python" and movies like " Twelve Monkeys " and " Brazil - The Movie", he announced new production inspired by one of the most beloved literary myths: Don Quixote .

And Alberto Iglesias (who was already supposed to work on the film when Depp & Rochefort were involved) will compose the music.
EDIT : Here is the full press conference from yesterday :

Cannes 2016: Terry Gilliam on 'Continual Failure' and 'The Man Who Killed Don Quixote' - Indiewire interview
P.S. Nice job, Bruttenholm, on finding that complete video of Gilliam's press conference.

Sorry I haven't been contributing much to this website over the last couple of years... thanks to all who have been doing so. I have been working behind the scenes and will have a new design for Dreams plus an updated news page in the next few days. I will work hard to get as much exclusive Quixote content here over forthcoming months!

Hi. Sounds great, Phil.
RE: Gilliam is working on it (again) - bruttenholm - 05-21-2016
I'm eager to see the revamped website, keep up the good work !
RE: Gilliam is working on it (again) - cclark - 05-21-2016
Great news Phil. I'm interested to see the new site as well.

Terry himself linked the Cannes press conference video on his Facebook.
And great to see you do something new on the site, Phil. Still...I'm a bit sad it's been over a year that I gave you a few questions for a Terry interview and they don't seem to have gotten through so far!
From the Indiewire interview linked by Cclark:
Quote: What do you think about people watching movies on iPhones?
It’s pathetic. The point of a movie is you go into a space and there’s a large screen. You’re small and the screen is big. On an iPhone, you’re the big thing and the film is the little thing. It’s just all wrong and completely backwards. Can you imagine if the first "Star Wars" was being watched on an iPhone? This is one of the things I actually resent — how so much of humanity is so fucking lazy. They just want stuff now. They don’t want to really experience it. They just want to say "saw that" and tick all these boxes.
I don't know if I've told you guys before, but Terry also says something along this line in his "Pre-Posthumous Autobiography", and curiously enough, it's exactly what Adorno thought about TV in his essay, "Television as ideology": Small screen, tiny actors, big viewers, and that makes it all backwards.

Here are the first declaration of Palin post-Cannes : http://www.hamhigh.co.uk/etcetera/outdoors/michael_palin_terry_gilliam_s_scared_off_anyone_who_might_play_don_quixote_1_4552092
Not fully optimist but a bit tongue-in-cheek also...

Does anyone know if there was a big part of british money in the budget ? I mean, with the free fall of the pound, that could have consequences.
Meanwhile, Michael Palin is taking horse riding lessons.
