Ewan McGregor To Star With Robert Duvall In 'The Man Who Killed Don Quixote'

Most fans will agree that Terry Gilliam has had an off bunch of years, really since the exceptional 1998 adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's book, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." Of course, until last year's undeniably solid "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" it had only been two movies. It was the failed "Don Quixote" project I think, the one that was recounted in the documentary "Lost in La Mancha."

Gilliam is gearing up for another crack at it now, with "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote." It's been known for some time that Robert Duvall would star as the delusional Spaniard. Now his sidekick has been cast, a modern day man thrown into the past and caught up in Quixote's adventures: Ewan McGregor. Gilliam confirmed the casting to Empire at Cannes; you can check out a video of the interview there.
