Gilliam gives some news... not necessarily encouraging:
https://deadline.com/2025/07/terry-gilli...236450896/
Basically, what emerges from this interview is:
-Gilliam's master plan was to build a solid cast to attract financiers. In fact, he validates all the names already published in the press, and he adds Tom Waits to the list. Sounds like the big meeting of all the old friends.
-The master plan didn't work out very well since not many people took the bait : he doesn't have the money to make the film (I think we heard it before).
-Reading the interview, one gets the impression that Gilliam is starting to get used to the idea that he has to give up on the project altogether (he says he's ready to make another studio film).
-More intriguingly, he says that in any case, the script would have to be rewritten, as it was a satire of the "world of woke" and has become out of date in some ways since Trump's election.
In short, we won't be seeing the film any time soon, if you ask me. At this point, I think we should mainly hope for studios to send him good scripts for small, ready-to-go films.
