GILLIAM STOKES THE DON QUIXOTE EMBERS AGAIN, TEASES MR. VERTIGO

I'll take anything from Gilliam.  His efforts might not always be great, but they are never dull.

I love Gilliam dearly and have missed getting new movies from him, and I wonder if all these hints about Quixote come from nervousness about these potential deals - kind of a 'If I say something's going on in public people will be less inclined to back out' attitude. This movie's pretty much become his white whale, so you can understand why he wants it known that he asn't given up on it. problem is, if it is a tactic it's clearly not working.

Mr. Vertigo sounds cool, though. I just want to see new Gillam.

I'm assuming those quotes are from the recent, excellent interview in Empire magazine. The interviewer makes the astute observation that Gilliam really shone when he worked within the Studio system...12 Monkeys, Brazil, Baron Munchasuen and The Fisher King were big Studio projects.

The Don Quixote film seemed (from the description of the plot) to be a very lame, watered down Hollywood Story.....guy goes back in time to meet the real Don Quixote, but he's just like Don Quixote himself OMG! Odd that Gilliam should be so obsessed over this film, when he's made stories that are so much more imaginative.

Mr Vertigo does seem to be right up his alley. Maybe a little too up his alley.

I wish Megan Ellison would become his patron already until his dying days. I'd very much like to see Gilliam's filmography double.

Gilliam certainly seems like the kind of filmmaker that would be right up Ellison's alley.
