Terry Gilliam is returning to longterm project 'The Man Who Killed Don Quixote' this October, when filming gets underway for a reworked movie starring Adam Driver, Olga Kurylenko and Michael Palin.
Driver, of 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' and Jim Jarmusch's current Cannes prospect "Paterson," is to play main character Toby -- Sancho Panza -- in a modernization of Miguel de Cervantes' classic Spanish novel; "Monty Python" collaborator Palin will become the new version of Don Quixote.
That much was known last week, and now, at Cannes, Ukranian-born French actress Olga Kurylenko of
"Quantum of Solace" has been confirmed as the film's third main principal, with October the shoot's start date.
The dream appears to be very much alive.
"We should be here in Cannes next year with the finished film," Gilliam said (perIndieWire), after teasing the movie's composition: "Nobody is who they seem in this movie."
The feature, previously attempted in 1999, had at one point starred Johnny Depp opposite John Rochefort and Vanessa Paradis. On-set calamities prevented meaningful progress but resulted in award-winning documentary 'Lost in La Mancha'.
