Terry Gilliam says his Amazon deal includes his long-awaited 'Don Quixote' movie

In May, Terry Gilliam signed a deal with Amazon Studios and now we finally know what that deal will include. The filmmaker said that he will finally get to make his long-gestating Don Quixote movie with Amazon.

In an interview with Indiewire, Gilliam didn’t comment on any casting rumors, but he did say that Don Quixote will get an unconventional home. (That seems only fair for such an unconventional filmmaker.) He said that it will get a theatrical release and then be put up for streaming.

“I’m intrigued by their way of doing it,” Gilliam said. “They go into the cinemas first and then a month or two afterwards they go into streaming. And I think that’s good because you get a chance to see it on the big screen, and yet I know that more people have seen my films on DVD than they have in the cinemas and that’s the reality of life now.”

Gilliam, who recently made The Zero Theorem, said in August 2014 that he finally had the money to make the film, although Johnny Depp is no longer attached. Instead, Unbroken star Jack O’Connell was linked to the project and it’s also rumored that John Hurt will have a part.

Gilliam also told Indiewire that he might also make Defective Detective, an old screenplay written with The Fisher King’s Richard LaGravenese, as a mini-series for Netflix.
