Collaborating With A True Maverick

♦ We don’t know when The Man Who Killed Don Quixote is coming out in the UK but their own YouTube channel just shared a short film showing people working with Gilliam on it which will be at the Cannes Film Festival this weekend so here it is…

The Man Who Killed Don Quixote tells the story of a deluded old man who is convinced he is Don Quixote, and who mistakes Toby, an advertising executive, for his trusty squire, Sancho Panza. The pair embark on a bizarre journey, jumping back and forth in time between the 21st and magical 17th century. Gradually, like the infamous knight himself, Toby becomes consumed by the illusory world and unable to determine his dreams from reality. The tale culminates in a phantasmagorical and emotional finale where Toby takes on the mantle of Don Quixote de la Mancha. Stars Jonathan Pryce as Don Quixote, an old man convinced he is the famous character from literature, Adam Driver as Toby Grisoni, an advertising executive, Olga Kurylenko as Jacqui and Stellan Skarsgård as The Boss.
