Hey folks, Harry here with a bit of news from the UK's Sky TV. Their beautiful correspondent sat down with Terry Gilliam while at Cannes and did the amazing. Talked with him on camera about nothing but THE MAN WHO KILLED DON QUIXOTE!!! That's right, and the video is available in Real Video format I believe it's called at This Location and for you folks that can't see the video... I'll give you a few highlights. First off, Terry has 100% of his money in place to shoot his next film. Second, he will begin shooting in Spain in September, shooting almost all of the film around and about Madrid. (Which btw, is where Guillermo Del Toro begins shooting THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE in two weeks) Third, he's working with Johnny Depp again because he really likes Depp and gives him an avalanche of compliments. ALL DESERVED I MIGHT ADD FOR HIS BRILLIANT HUNTER S THOMPSON IN THE BRILLIANT FILM "FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS"!!! Now Johnny will be playing "The Man Who". He also loves the fact that Johnny Depp will allow himself to be buried in makeup and can be serious and silly. Vanessa Paradis (Johnny Depp's real life girlfriend) was cast after Gilliam saw her in THE GIRL ON THE BRIDGE.... which by the way is possibly tied with SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE as my favorite film I've seen this year. A friggin fantastic film!!! Apparently after Gilliam saw her in the film, he hopped on the computer and emailed ol Johnny and told him how fantastic his girlfriend was and how she had to be in the movie. NOW... lest you think that be bullshit.... In THE GIRL ON THE BRIDGE... if you don't fall in love with Vanessa. She is absolutely radiant in that film. When Gilliam says that he cast her because of her performance in that film.... I BELIEVE HIM!!! She's entrancing in that film. Personally... I'm giddy that Gilliam is working again. He's one of the great directors working in cinema today!
