Ruim een jaar geleden leek het er al op, en inmiddels zijn de deals bijna allemaal rond. Regisseur Terry Gilliam (Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas, Brazil) gaat alsnog The Man Who Killed Don Quixote maken, de film met Johnny Depp waar hij in 2000 aan werkte, maar die door een samenloop van omstandigheden midden in de productie volledig moest worden afgelast.

Gilliam: "[Producer] Jeremy Thomas is very close to getting all the pieces of paper signed from all the people who you gotta get signed. He’s been on it for a year now, and he’s come the closest to getting it untangled from the legal swamp it was in. And, um, I don’t see why, I don’t see anythying that’s gonna stop it now. He’s just gotta get all the paperwork done and then I call Mr Depp and see which pirate film he’s still on."

De Amerikaan liet daarbij ook nog weten dat de kans bestaat dat hij gaat werken aan de verfilming van Neil Gaiman en Terry Pratchetts Good Omens: "I’m the only one who can make it, because that's what Neil and Terry have said. I’m the only one. And I thought with Neil, with Stardust and with Beowulf and there’s another one – an animated film, a Henry Selick thing he’s written [Coraline], I was thinking he’s really hot now, so maybe there’s a chance. I mean it’s such a wonderful book. And I think our script is pretty good, too. We did quite a few changes. We weren’t as respectful as we ought to have been. But Neil’s happy with it!"
