American audiences looking forward to streaming Terry Gilliam’s “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote” on Amazon will have to make other plans. According to a source with knowledge of the production, Amazon Studios is no longer handling the domestic release.
Amazon Studios committed significant financing to the feature, which draws inspiration from Spaniard Miguel de Cervantes’ two-part novel, “Don Quixote,” published in 1605 and 1615. Gilliam wrapped production on June 17, 2017, nearly 20 years after he began his first attempt at the infamously troubled project. Its cursed reputation was again referenced with Tuesday’s reports that 77-year-old Gilliam is now recovering from a weekend stroke.
According to The Telegraph, in early 2016, producer Paulo Branco pledged €16 million (almost $22 million) to help Gilliam finish his magnum opus. Gilliam’s lawyer, Benjamin Sarfati, contends that in the end, “untrustworthy” Branco “didn’t have the money;” producer and director parted ways before “Quixote” finally began shooting.
