Director and former member of Monty Python, Terry Gilliam spoke at the LAMOCA two weeks ago. Previewed at the event was Lost in La Mancha, a documentary about Gilliam's adaptation of Don Quixote which never happened - despite some ten years preparation, three attempted starts and over $32M in the bank. The film, starring Jean Rochefort, Johnny Depp and a troop of life-size marionettes was literally halted by floods and disease. The documentary about the "un-making" of Don Quixote hits theaters on January 31st.

Among the half dozen projects currently on Gilliam's desk are Brothers Grimm (scheduled to start shooting in the spring for MGM) and a film adaptation of Neil Gaiman's Good Omens.
