this is gonna sound stupid, but do you think there might be some other forces at work that didn't want this movie being made? it's just interesting how all these disasters just started happening to them right out of the gate like no cast, freak storms, etc.
shareIf you believe in those superstitions (I don't, but that's just me, I do believe in bad luck, and in the case of this film disastrous bad luck), you can also think to the fact that most of the other productions of Don Quixote in the past- most notably Orson Welles'- got jinxed like this one by forces beyong the creators' control, perhaps by the power of Cervantes' work. The good news is that, unlike Welles, Gilliam does have the chance to make this again (fingers crossed).
shareWell, it's a well known fact that Cervantes hated fanfiction of his characters during his lifetime...
