RE: The Making of Quixote - bruttenholm - 05-09-2018 Thierry Frémaux confirmed that the Cannes screening has been authorized. https://twitter.com/hanglutvd/status/994222530557857793 Océan Films maintain the national release in France the same day : https://twitter.com/OceanFilmsFR/status/994221893216624640 RE: The Making of Quixote - Donald McKinney - 05-09-2018 YAY!! ![]() As for the reporters going on about Amazon dropping the film, I bet they're the same ones who are claiming Terry had a stroke, which depending on who you listen to, ranges from small to mild to large. If only they checked their facts. RE: The Making of Quixote - Donald McKinney - 05-09-2018 Terry just posted this on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Terry.Gilliam/posts/1760755937316546 RE: The Making of Quixote - cclark - 05-09-2018 ‘Don Quixote’: Why Amazon Backed Out, Terry Gilliam’s Health & Paolo Branco’s Damning Presser — via Deadline Hollywood: http://deadline.com/2018/05/man-killed-don-quixote-amazon-terry-gilliams-stroke-cannes-1202386150/ RE: The Making of Quixote - Donald McKinney - 05-09-2018 (05-09-2018, 10:06 PM)cclark Wrote: ‘Don Quixote’: Why Amazon Backed Out, Terry Gilliam’s Health & Paolo Branco’s Damning Presser — via Deadline Hollywood: Well, one plausible explanation for Amazon's departure according to Variety could be to do with it's former boss. http://variety.com/2018/film/news/terry-gilliam-amazon-man-who-killed-don-quixote-1202804132/ While Paulo Branco claims they backed out because of the court case, (which isn't true, he's been playing the bad loser card all afternoon), Amazon Studios is currently being reorganised, the Quixote deal was originally signed by ex-Amazon head Roy Price, who was axed last year after sexual abuse allegations, (he also signed Woody Allen, but Woody's deal still stands, sort of), but it looks like Amazon are slowly washing their hands of anything Price signed up. Pity really, but if all else fails, there's always Netflix. We'll have to wait and see if A24 or indeed anyone else puts in an offer. RE: The Making of Quixote - 1halfASSreviewer - 05-10-2018 This kind of reminds me of what happened with The Adventures of Baron Munchausen at Columbia Pictures after Dawn Steel and her regime replaced David Puttnam's. Only this time(unlike with Munchausen thankfully), Quixote is complete and not in the middle of principal photography.

Amazon must have their reasons for not wanting to distribute it, but I don't think it's because of Branco, although he certainly hasn't helped. As stated, Amazon refused to have anything to do with the film when Branco was involved, as soon as he was gone, they came back, so I wonder if they invested any money at all towards the production? RE: The Making of Quixote - bruttenholm - 05-10-2018 The CNC (National Centre of Cinema) just announced that it gave a visa of exploitation to the film, and that therefore (and contrary to what Branco and his lawyers proclaimed), the film can indeed be released theatrically in France on May 19th. http://www.cnc.fr/web/fr/flux/-/journal_content/56_INSTANCE_k0Tr/18/14296301?refererPlid=64476 RE: The Making of Quixote - petersio - 05-11-2018 Great news about Cannes and France. Here's hoping A24 (or someone else) picks it up so us Yanks can see it. Would hate to have to wait a year for the DVD release. RE: The Making of Quixote - bruttenholm - 05-11-2018 By the way, Variety has the scoop on the new making of : Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe have followed the new shoot and will release a new film called "He Dreams of Giants". This time they will focus more closely on Gilliam and the "internal struggle in an artist’s mind”. Quote:“We began to think this is more a film about an internal struggle in an artist’s mind,” Fulton said. “What is it like for an artist to be standing on the brink of actually finishing this project finally?” The producer Lucy Darwin is currently shopping the film to buyers at the International film market in Cannes. http://variety.com/2018/film/news/terry-gilliam-the-man-who-killed-don-quixote-lost-in-la-mancha-he-dreams-of-giants-1202805656/ I don't know about you but I get more emotional than I thought I would, reading this. Like it's the first time I really realize we've come full circle. It will be a beautiful ending to a very long journey. There's also a nice timing to the Variety article, refocusing our attention on the film itself and not all the pseudo-legal drama. |
