The combination of Gilliam, the film’s long gestation and star Driver is the focus of Screen Media’s messaging ahead of its release this weekend.
In the course of their comic and increasingly surreal adventures, Toby is forced to confront the tragic repercussions of a film he made in his idealistic youth - a film that changed the hopes and dreams of a small Spanish village forever. The feature centers on Toby (Adam Driver), a cynical but supposedly genius film director who finds himself trapped in the outrageous delusions of an old Spanish shoemaker (Jonathan Pryce) who believes himself to be Don Quixote. When the opportunity to handle the North American distribution of the movie materialized, we never hesitated.” “The long wait was well worth it - we loved it. “Given the long, fabled history of Terry’s journey to bring this epic adventure to screen, like many fans of his work, we became aware of it a while ago,” he said. EVP Distribution Mike Messina said it had been watching its long trajectory to the big screen. Screen Media Films caught Terry Gilliam comedy The Man Who Killed Don Quixote at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival.
