RE: The Making of Quixote - cclark - 04-04-2018 Here's one: https://www.franceinter.fr/amp/culture/qui-veut-la-peau-de-don-quichotte English translation via Google: Quote:Who wants the skin of "Don Quixote" (or Terry Gilliam)? RE: The Making of Quixote - cclark - 04-04-2018 The hearing is over: https://twitter.com/cocale/status/981497808657231872 Quote:Terry Gilliam on the way out of the Court of Appeal. He said he was happy to finally finish his film. Will not compromise with Branco. Answer on June 15th. #Quichotte RE: The Making of Quixote - bruttenholm - 04-04-2018 Asked about Cannes festival, Gilliam answered "Venice is a very beautiful city"... Technically, the verdict would not prevent the film to be screened in Cannes, as it would not be a public release (it would prevent the film to open in France at the same time, though). (Maybe a jury presided by Guillermo Del Toro will be more keen on Gilliam's film anyway) By the way I'm french so I can understand all the articles, ask me if something's unclear... RE: The Making of Quixote - cclark - 04-04-2018 Thanks Bruttenholm. As clumsy as Google Translate is, I think I got the gist of the article. This tweet by Corinne Audouin also gives more than a little hope for a Cannes premier: https://twitter.com/cocale/status/981520460117630978 Quote:Finally, not legally impossible that "The man who killed Don #Quichotte" is in Cannes (it's not a theatrical release). But will the festival take this risk - if the team loves the film of course? That's the question. cc @THIERRYFREMAUX Guillermo Del Toro is a huge Gilliam fan.* Knowing this, it could be that Gilliam played this card with the hope that Del Toro would really push to get Quixote in Cannes (just in case there would be a problem), as both you and the above tweet pointed out it wouldn't be considered to be a theatrical release. *Check out #5 of his top 10 on Criterion: https://www.criterion.com/explore/125-guillermo-del-toro-s-top-10 RE: The Making of Quixote - bruttenholm - 04-04-2018 I mentioned Del Toro because he's the president of this year's Venice festival, I don't think he has any power over Frémaux's selection. And frankly a Cannes selection seems quite impossible... That would be a very political gesture from Frémaux and I'm not sure he wants to take that risk with this film. Also, the french distributor was aiming for Cannes (even hoping to be selected as the opening film) to support a simultaneous french release. This plan is clearly off the cards now so I'm not sure Cannes is even that useful for them now. I won't be too upset if the film avoids the legendary picky Cannes critics but that would mean we wouldn't have any moving image for several months... RE: The Making of Quixote - cclark - 04-04-2018 The Playlist has picked up the news: https://theplaylist.net/terry-gilliam-don-quixote-20180404/ I wonder if they read this message board.... ![]() RE: The Making of Quixote - bruttenholm - 04-04-2018 Maybe someone sent them a tip... (hum) RE: The Making of Quixote - cclark - 04-04-2018 Personally I think this is Branco's way to secure a prominent role in the eventual making-of documentary. How to Worm Your Way to a Producers Credit Without Actually Producing by Paulo Branco RE: The Making of Quixote - cclark - 04-05-2018 On a more positive note, the status for Quixote has officially been updated to Completed on the IMDb (as of March 30, 2018): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1318517/ RE: The Making of Quixote - cclark - 04-05-2018 Here's a bit more on the Gilliam/Branco lawsuit: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/04/04/terry-gilliams-eighth-attempt-don-quixote-film-hits-yet-another/ |
