Gilliam has said numerous times that he has tried to make a film out of Leonard Bernstein's operetta "Candide" based on the eponymous Voltaire novel. In the past he tried to do it with Johnny Depp in the lead : https://www.broadwayworld.com/board/read...ad=1082018
Now he seems to think about it again, as he talked about that idea in 2 separate french interviews during the promotion of his staging of Benvenuto Cellini in Paris (*).

I'd be very curious to see Gilliam on a musical, to say the least.
(*)(another project he seems to toy with woul be a "digest" of Wagner's Ring cycle, but for the stage)
