"After years and years of toiling on The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, Terry Gilliam has been delivered a fatal blow to his passion project. He has lost the rights to his own movie."

I'll cross my fingers that he wins the appeal to this appeal which he just lost, unless the Curse of Quixote is even more wicked than that of the Scottish Play.

I'm not sure I'd call it a "fatal blow" since the movie already came out in theaters in France. It seems very unlikely that it will be entirely withdrawn and never seen again.

Yes, multiple copies of Gilliam's cut have been released. Distribution will definitely be affected, but the finished work exists.

I only know what muddled things the press keeps telling me.

Such as Cannes being "the first and possibly the last time anyone will see The Man Who Killed Don Quixote."

Yet now we get "Despite Previous Court Ruling, The Rights To Terry Gilliam’s ‘Don Quixote’ Are With The Filmmaker"

I hope the new documentary by Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe (who also made Lost in La Mancha and The Hamster Factor and Other Tales of Twelve Monkeys) is still in production and covering all this zaniness.
