Here's what IndieWire had to say:
Quote:Clearly, Fremaux fought to bring two old Cannes favorites to the Croisette. Brit veteran Terry Gilliam prevailed over his legal woes (as well as a minor stroke) to screen “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote” for buyers (after Amazon Studios dropped out) and press, who seemed receptive and grateful that the long-cursed movie finally had its day.

Clearly the festival cast a bright light on the film and I think it's a very good thing for Gilliam. Whatever happens next, at least it showed the film to people in the film industry who wouldn't have seen it otherwise and maybe reminded them that Gilliam exists and can still direct. Maybe I'm too optimistic but I hope that it will translate into more film projects.


RE: The Making of Quixote - cclark - 05-20-2018

Maybe now he could direct a limited run series (like Defective Detective) for one of the streaming giants, or collaborate with someone like Guillermo Del Toro (who now has Oscar cred) on a Hollywood film.


RE: The Making of Quixote - petersio - 05-20-2018

I'm so happy for Terry that he was able to complete his dream project and show it at Cannes. Looking forward to seeing it (hopefully soon) in the U.S.. Fingers crossed this will help get the Defective Detective made as a movie or streaming series. Terry's always said that it's the purest thing he's ever written.


RE: The Making of Quixote - Donald McKinney - 05-21-2018

I want to see him revisit The Defective Detective. That's been around as long as Quixote, he wrote a script with The Fisher King's Richard LaGravenese, it was storyboarded and producer Scott Rudin got Paramount Pictures to greenlight it... Then nothing. Terry tried reviving it after Twelve Monkeys, and he nearly had it ready to go with Nicolas Cage starring, but the opportunity to make Fear and Loathing came up. He mentions it every now and again, but the rights are still with Paramount, a dozen regime changes later, would they still want to do it? But, I feel it's been around too long for it NOT to be made, Quixote is conquered, this should be his next goal. Oh, and he was attached to do adaptations of Katherine Dunn's Geek Love, Larry McMurtry's Anything for Billy and Paul Auster's Mr. Vertigo. Geek Love hasn't been brought up again since 2005, ditto with Anything for Billy, while Mr. Vertigo nearly happened in 2012, but The Zero Theorem was rushed into production. So, he has a few to choose from. I wonder if the Amazon deal is still on, even though they bailed out on Quixote


RE: The Making of Quixote - cclark - 05-21-2018

I hope some kind of Amazon deal is still on in spite of Quixote. This is the last thing I remember hearing about The Defective Detective: http://www.indiewire.com/2015/06/terry-gilliams-amazon-deal-is-for-u-s-release-of-don-quixote-possibly-a-defective-detective-mini-series-263169/

If not Amazon, then maybe Netflix would be interested in a Gilliam miniseries, as they are leaning towards sci-fi and fantasy content: http://bgr.com/2018/04/30/netflix-sci-fi-fantasy-movies-shows-2018/


RE: The Making of Quixote - bruttenholm - 05-21-2018

I don't know, when he was in paris for Benvenuto Cellini earlier this year, he talked about his desire to direct an adaptation of the musical Candide or and abridged version of Wagner's The Ring (for the cinema, too, apparently). Maybe he was focused on musical projects because of Cellini but I didn't hear him talk about anything else.
I hope we'll get an announcement, whatever the film is, in the next 2 years, otherwise I'm not sure Gilliam will direct a film again.


RE: The Making of Quixote - Donald McKinney - 05-21-2018

I think Quixote might pique producers/financiers interests, offers will come trickling in, so we'll have to wait and see.


RE: The Making of Quixote - MercuryZap - 05-21-2018

25 years. It’s an extraordinary story in its own right.

I can’t wait to see the film.

That is a joyfull photo. I hope he and those around him get to savour and reflect properly on the magnitude of the symbolism of that night

Life moves so fast and in such mysterious ways.

As no-one else has uploaded the Cannes Press Conference from Saturday I don't think the official Cannes page have, I took the opportunity of uploading it! Tongue
