Ewan No Longer Attached to “Don Quixote”

It seems that Ewan is no longer attatched the Terry Gilliam’s much-fabled The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, as the director himself commented whilst attending the Marrakech Film Festival a few days ago:

As Gilliam says, funding continues to be the issue on the project. “Well, we’re always waiting for money. Everything is about money, and until you get the money…That’s the problem with films, the things that I’m trying to do cost $20 million dollars, maybe more. And if they’re made in Hollywood they would cost $80 million dollars. Big visions cost money, you have to create them and they cost money. So I’m in that very difficult financial slot. If you make a film for $10 million you get the money like that [snaps], or even 15. $20 million starts getting to a dangerous point.”

Nevertheless, Gilliam did update us on ‘Don Quixote,’ saying that, sadly, Ewan McGregor is no longer involved in the project. “But Robert Duvall is! But we’ve got to hurry, because he’s 82,” Gilliam joked.
