Gilliam movie will be released
Published April 28, 2004
Monty Python star Terry Gilliam hasn't had an easy time in recent years. First, his film adaptation of Don Quixote was abandoned in 2002 after a series of on-set debacles; a fly-on-the-wall documentary, Lost in La Mancha, was made about the project. Not long after, another Gilliam direction - The Brothers Grimm, starring Matt Damon and Jonathan Pryce - also hit the buffers.
Happily, the epic fairytale seems to be back on track and Gilliam denies rumours of a spat with the main backer Bob Weinstein. "We did have problems with Brothers Grimm, but it was mainly because the shoot took an unusually long time, even for a big-budget production," Gilliam tells Spy. "The special effects were complex, but I am editing the film and we will release it in November."
Gilliam is still refusing to contemplate getting Don Quixote back on track, but adds: "Believe me, I just want to finish this project before I think of anything else."

Lost in La Mancha is one of the most truly heart breaking films ever. After watching the film, if you don't think the universe was working against Terry Gilliam, you're out of your freaking mind.
