It may be the impossible dream: Terry Gilliam has been trying to get his comic fantasy film “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote” made for 18 years. A 2000 production with Johnny Depp was aborted after it was plagued by floods, illnesses and financial issues. Its troubled making supplied the material for a 2002 documentary, “Lost in La Mancha.”

After several more starts and stops, the movie went into production again last year with Jonathan Pryce starring as a modern-day man who claims to be Don Quixote and Adam Driver as his would-be Sancho Panza, a cynical TV commercials director. Now the international trailer has been released, but that still doesn’t mean the film is headed to theaters soon. It was reportedly scrapped from this year’s Cannes Film Festival lineup due to legal issues with one of the film’s former producers.
