Don Quixote that is. Yes, everyone’s favourite Scot – Ewan McGregor – is going to replace Johnny Depp in Terry Gilliam’s previously ill-fated The Man Who Killed Don Quixote movie. What’s more, Rubert Duvall is going to play Don Quixote. Empire spoke to Gilliam over in Cannes this week:
“Robert Duvall is one of the greats, no question – and he can ride a horse! And Ewan has gotten better over the years. He was wonderful in The Ghost. There’s a lot of colours to Ewan that he’s not been showing recently and it’s time for him to show them again. He’s got a great sense of humour and he’s a wonderful actor. He’s wonderfully boyish and can be charming – when he flashes a smile, everybody melts. He wields it like a nuclear bomb!”
Indeed. We loved The Ghost — a superb piece of filmmaking and acting from Mr. McGregor!
