While the Han Solo, solo film, Solo, had a unusual and rocky production, it pales in comparison to the troubles faced by Terry Gilliam in bringing his film The Man Who Killed Don Quxiote to the screen. Gilliam’s troubles with the film are even documented in it’s own documentary Lost in La Mancha.
Gilliam started working on the film in the late 1980s but wasn’t able to get the film funded until nearly a decade later. Production began in August of 2000, but within a week’s time production of the film was stopped and it would be 16 years before Gilliam would return to the project. Filming finally wrapped in 2017 and If you need proof you can hop up three paragraphs you can check out the first trailer for the film.

Quite an interesting story which should help promote the film. I have heard about it for quite sometime, and knew Gilliam had struggled to get the film made, but never knew the full extent of what he went though.
This is Gilliam’s first full length film since 2009’s bizarrely entertaining The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Gilliam, who if I remember correctly was the only American member of Monty Python wrote what are two of their most famous films in Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Life of Brian. He also wrote the screenplay Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
