solidfoamsoulDamn, but this movie would have been brilliant.
I love Gilliam. And Johnny is crazy in this.
*bumps "Lost in La Mancha" to top of Blockbuster Queue*
In 2000, the director Terry Gilliam started shooting "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote". This film, an altered telling of the classic Don Quixote story, starred Johnny Depp as Don Quixote's "sidekick". After only one week of shooting, too many problems forced production on the film to stop. Even though this film has been his biggest dream, Gilliam, to this day, has never been able to successfully restart the project. This is the only six minutes of the film that were completed. I don't usually post videos that aren't my own work but the story behind these 6 minutes is pretty interesting. The story of this unfinished film is told in the documentary "Lost in La Mancha" and I recommend seeing it if you are a Terry Gilliam fan or have an interest in film production.
