Wanna Meet Terry Gilliam On The Streets Of New York Today (Wednesday)?!?!
Merrick here…
Terry Gilliam will be stalking the streets of New York City tomorrow. He’ll be handing out flyers for his new film TIDELAND [OFFICIAL SITE HERE], talking to anyone who will talk to him, signing autographs, and generally hobnobbing with the city folk.
One really good place to find him? 733 11th Ave at 51st St. -- he'll be there around 4:45pm (which is my not so subtle way of saying: THIS IS WHERE AND WHEN YOU SHOULD GO LOOK FOR HIM!). This is where the line cues up for THE DAILY SHOW with Jon Stewart. He is not appearing on the show – he’ll just be there saying “Hey” to the line people, and should hang around for 30-45 minutes.
If you decide to go find Terry, remember that THE DAILY SHOW will be letting people in for taping around this time – please go out of your way to not interfere with the show’s staff. You know, show them courtesy, respect, all that.
TIDELAND opens Friday October 13...a fine portent for any movie.
So…if he’s not gonna be on THE DAILY SHOW even though he’s already going to be there macking on its line...why isn’t he on the show? Or THE COLBERT REPORT for that matter? Ah, well, go meet him. And, SEND ME PICTURES!

I would. Too late and too far to catch him though.
This time we ride roller coasters into the ocean
We feel no emotion as we spiral down to the world |

Quixote Resurrected
Gilliam, Depp plot return to La Mancha.
by IGN Staff
October 4, 2006 - Director Terry Gilliam is beloved by genre fans for films like Brazil, 12 Monkeys, and Time Bandits, but his pictures are often - and famously - plagued by production troubles. Never was that more true than with his doomed The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, the film that notoriously never came to be but the troubled and incomplete production of which was portrayed in the popular 2002 documentary Lost in La Mancha. Now, however, Gilliam says that he is on the verge of resurrecting the long thought dead project.
"We're in the final stages of getting the rights to Quixote back," the director told IGN earlier today. "I mean, I've been hearing this for the past six months, and I'm getting a bit impatient. But when we get that back, that would be the thing I would just dive in [on]. First thing I would do is make one phone call: 'Johnny, when are you available?' And that would dictate when I do it."
The Johnny in question is, of course, Johnny Depp, the planned star of the first version of Quixote. Gilliam says that the actor is still onboard the film. "He's on, he's on," the director said, before adding with a laugh, "He's the man… I hope he's still my best friend!"
As for how much of the original version of Quixote can be used for this new production, the helmer believes that there's little chance of actual footage being recycled from that shoot.
"We have to start anew," Gilliam confirmed. "We have to throw it all away. We do have things like costumes stored away. There's some work that's been done, but everything we shot is gone. It's such a dangerous thing, because the documentary was so good and people have got so many images in their own head of what the film will be like. Their imagination may be better than what I produce, so who knows."

Lost in La Mancha is one of the most bittersweet things I've ever seen. The scenes that were filmed look great, Gilliam at his most 'Gilliam', or at least at his highest level since Maunchasen. Still, as much as I love the man's movies, he himself annoys the holy hell out of me.
