TERRY GILLIAM appreciation thread

That looks stunning.

Jeebus. Could the saga of this film be more dramatic?

First of all, here is the second trailer that was released for The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, which I found even more exciting as it showcases some of the modern day framing tale and that Gilliamesque sense of humor and not just the visuals of the Quixote parts.



Secondly, Gilliam announced he is going to premiere the film at the Cannes Film Festival! Hot frickin' damn! But then one of the former producers from the first attempt, Paulo Branco, was suing to stop the screening and release. And then, the day before the French court was going to render their decision, Gilliam suffered a minor stroke! For f*ck's sake.

The court ruled in his favor, Branco has no rights to the film, and Terry returned home from the hospital last night.

All seems to be cleared for the premiere screening (out of competition) of The Man Who Killed Don Quixote as the closing feature of the 71st Cannes Film Festival on May 19th (next Saturday).

You know, assuming Gilliam's plane doesn't crash into the theater.


Stay tuned!

Love him so much.

YES!

I like the guy!

And as he might say like he did with the DVD intro of Tideland.."thank you...THANK you!

Looks like a fun throwback but then I remember thinking that after the original Brothers Grimm trailer and when I tried to rewatch that recently I couldn't make it all the way through. Hope this is good

Very sad news for Terry Gilliam fans... Gilliam is now saying he can't get the funding he needs to make his next project, The Carnival at the End of Days.

I'm gonna remain somewhat hopeful that he eventually succeeds in finding some funding for the project, it would be a shame if he never got to make his long-dreamt film.

Gilliam would've joined my top ten directors, reserved for directors with three films I consider perfect, if The Fisher King weren't slightly overlong. 99.5, heh. But I do love myself some Gilliam. The range he has between Holy Grail and 12 Monkeys is awe-inspiring.
