"Ein ewiger Pechvogel?" asks Frank Noack in Der Tagesspiegel. Loosely translated, Noack's wondering out loud whether Terry Gilliam, who turns 70 today, is doomed to an eternal streak of bad luck. Gilliam's ongoing quest to make The Man Who Killed Don Quixote certainly seems to be. Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe's Lost in La Mancha documents the series of misadventures that brought an end to the first go round nearly ten year ago now. Gilliam revived the project last year — and his funding collapsed again this September. In between, there was the Brothers Grimm debacle ("the Weinsteins rode roughshod over me," Gilliam would eventually say) and, of course, the tragic death of Heath Ledger during the making of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
