According to some reports, Terry tried selling it at Cannes, but there was little enthusiasm for it, and according to this Italian site, potential producers and investors weren't convinced about Ralph Fiennes in the lead role: https://blog.screenweek.it/2018/07/mr-ve...635652.php
That seems a bit snobbish, I mean true, he isn't a megastar, but Fiennes has made a lot of successful films, and he's worked with a lot of big name directors, like Steven Spielberg, The Coen Brothers, Sam Mendes, Wes Anderson and Anthony Minghella. Not to mention he was Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter films, isn't that enough? Either that or producers are sick of Terry? As if they're saying, "OK, you've done Quixote, isn't that enough?" But, we'll have to wait and see.
