Terry Gilliam’s pet project, the long-awaited Miguel de Cervantes adaptation The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, is finally moving forward. Gilliam has announced he plans to begin the project following the completion of The Zero Theorem. Gilliam recently shared this concept art from the film as well on his Facebook page, which you can see above.

The Don Quixote adaptation originally began in 2000 with Jean Rochefort as Quixote and Johnny Depp in the role of Sancho Panza. Unfortunately, the shoot met with dilemma after dilemma and was never finished, although the behind-the-scenes of the troubled production did end up becoming a feature-length documentary, Lost in La Mancha, in 2002.

“I’m going to try to do ‘Don Quixote’ again,” Gilliam said then. “I think this is the seventh time. Lucky seven, maybe. We’ll see if it happens. This is kind of my default position, going back to that. I actually just want to make it and get rid of it. Get it out of my life.”

Gilliam told Empire that he is expecting to begin filming for Don Quixote this September on the Canary Islands.

He has also brought on Spanish producer Adrián Guerra (Buried, Red Lights, Grand Piano). “He’s really smart, loves movies,” said Gilliam. “He’s young enough to still love movies. But we’ve still got to cast it and get the money but other than that, that’s the deal.”
