Johnny Depp, Terry Gilliam Reunite For 'Don Quixote'

Johnny Depp and Terry Gilliam ar set to reunite once again to shoot the film The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, seven years afterwards abandoning their first attempt.


Based on the Cervantes novel, the picture stars Pirates of the Caribbean worker Johnny as an advertizement executive wHO travels back in time.


The plastic film was dubbed one of the most disaster-prone shoots in film history, with the original attempt at making the flick distress a variety of accidents, including the set existence washed away by a flash deluge and one of the lead actors being taken ill. After just five days of filming at a location near Madrid, Monty Python star Terry was forced to pull the sparking plug on the project.


Since then, the failed moving-picture show found fame as the subject of the 2002 hit documentary Lost In La Mancha.


A source said, "They are having another crack at it after putt a deal together. Johnny is a bigger headliner now than he was then, thanks to the Pirates of the Caribbean, and there is every confidence they can deplumate it off."
