According to the book Dark Knights & Holy Fools: The Art and Films of Terry Gilliam by Bob McCabe, published in 1999.
Terry Gilliam has also worked on a screenplay for the long awaited Time Bandits 2with another of his regular collaborators, Charles McKeown. At the time of writing, the film was held up due to a legal issue over the rights to the film, but Gilliam hopes to see it in production in plenty of time to exploit its millennium based storyline. He has decided to only produce the project, handing the directorial reigns over to David Garfath, the camera operator on the original film.
"The cast members that are alive are back - Dave's gone, Jack's gone and Tiny's gone. But we do have Jack's daughter. We're gonna have girl time bandits this time, and the old ones are a bunch of alkies sitting on the edge of heaven, drinking meths and talking about the good old days. The child is a girl this time, a girl who's into computers and the web. It's an odd one to go back to. I think we've got enough funny stuff in there, but there's this slight feeling of repetition in how you deal with time. I know that we made a really, really good film and any follow up is never as good. They never are."
I used to have a Monty Python biography that might have also mentioned it, but I don't seem to have it anymore. share
