The Defective Detective

[bruttenholm]

Apparently, Gilliam hasn't given up on this other decades-old project : at the end of a recent italian interview, he says that he'd still like to revive it, as a mini-series for Netflix (which is news I guess, as it was targeted for amazon a few years ago if i remember correctly). Yet the project seems very up in the air, and maybe more wishful thinking than anything else at the moment :

You finally directed your dream project. What now ?
"I don't know if I want to resurrect old projects. Perhaps Defective Detective, which was supposed to be a film, could become a TV series for Netflix. I really don't know what I will do. And I don't mind at all. I want to "play", leave all the doors open, go on holiday with my wife. And continue to be surprised. From anything, except from the death of my dear ones : it's my worst nightmare. I want to be the first to leave. I don't want to suffer. Because I'm a chicken and a coward. "
