Olga Kurylenko (Quantum Of Solace) is to join Terry Gilliam’s upcoming Don Quixote film alongside Star Wars: The Force Awakens actor Adam Driver, the director has revealed at a Cannes press conference today.
Writer-director Gilliam (Brazil) and producer Paolo Branco (Cosmopolis) announced the official start of production for the long-awaited The Man Who Killed Don Quixote after a 16-year delay since Gilliam’s first attempt at the film.
Production is set to begin in October for 11 weeks – five in Spain, four in Portugal and two in the Canary Islands. Pre-production will begin in June and production will wrap before Christmas.
Gilliam, who co-wrote the script with Tony Grisoni, anticipates post-production to start early 2016 with an aim to have the finished film in Cannes next year.
