elizabear | The Gilliam Curse

Have you ever watched "Lost in La Mancha", the documentary about what happened when Terry Gilliam tried to make Don Quixote into a movie with Johnny Depp as Sancho Panza? The bad luck that kept coming wave after wave after wave was incredible. I've also heard other stories of the problems Gilliam has had making other movies.

His latest film? "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus", currently in production, and starring Christopher Plummer, Tom Waits, and Heath Ledger.

Everyone's been sent home from the film set, which was due to start up again this weekend in Vancouver after moving from London.
