Summary

Terry Gilliam is reviving his passion project "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote" nearly a decade after his first attempt was derailed by bad weather, destroyed sets and lead actor Jean Rochefort's back problems. The new film will revolve around a filmmaker who is charmed into joining Don Quixote's eternal quest for his ladylove, becoming an unwitting Sancho Panza. Gilliam and screenwriter Tony Grisoni, who also wrote the first version, have rewritten and updated the script.
