Terry Gilliam has finally wrapped principal photography on The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, 17 years after he initially started shooting it. The film has undergone many forms over that time with many actors attached to it, by the likes of Adam Driver, Jonathan Pryce, Stellan Skarsgard and Olga Kurylenko have finally shot their final scenes for the film, which now moves into post-production.
There is even an official behind the scenes image, released as the final frames rolled.
“Don Quixote is a dreamer, an idealist and a romantic, determined not to accept the limitations of reality, marching on regardless of setbacks, as we have done,” said Gilliam to The Hollywood Reporter. “We’ve been at it so long that the idea of actually finishing shooting this ‘clandestine’ film, is pretty surreal. Any sensible person would have given up years ago but sometimes pig-headed dreamers win in the end, so thank you to all of the ill paid fantasists and believers who have joined to make this longstanding dream a reality!’’
Amazon Studios has acquired distribution rights for the US, Canada and the U.K. with the film set to land in 2018. Hopefully.
