I’ve been hearing a lot about this film over the past few months, mainly because my esteemed friends Ben, John and Keith are all taking either lead roles and/or a significant role in production.
They’ve just put up a web site, which I must say looks rather slick.
They had been filming mainly at weekends up to the end of last year, but it sounds like the key personnel have taken January off from whatever pays the bills to get the majority of principle phoptography done. I haven’t heard from Ben or John for a couple of weeks so I guess they’re down Brighton way filming now. It’ll be interesting to see the end result.
My most excellent buddy Dave bought me Lost in La Mancha for Christmas so I sat down to watch it yesterday. Man, that is a frightening film. I do hope Terry Gilliam gets it together and finishes it.
I can’t help but think how good Ken would be as Don Quixote, he has the right mix of humour and mournfulness that I think Gilliam is looking for.
I don’t know if Ken can ride a horse though…
