The Man who KIlled Don Quixote

Fans of Terry Gilliam will no doubt be aware of the saga of The Man who Killed Don Quixote.  The film was abandoned part way through after a multitude of misfortunes beset the crew.  The story is told in the excellent documentary Lost in La Mancha.

NOw Empire reports that Gilliam has started rewriting the script for the film, after finally getting the rights back following protracted discussions with the rights holders. 

Writing partner Tony Grisoni stated: "I re-read the greatest script ever written and realize we gotta get rewriting! I really wanna knock that one out in the next month or so." B

Gilliam says that he has "some very different ideas" for the film from the original incarnation, and that "[I'm] starting to think I was lucky, because maybe the film will be better seven years later. It will have matured a bit longer."
