This is very cool news, indeed. After watching Lost in La Mancha back in 2002, I was sure that the world was conspiring against Gilliam making this film.
Terry Gilliam and Johnny Depp To Resurrect â..Don Quixoteâ..

During the year 2000, Terry Gilliam started filming The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, starring Johnny Depp. However, a spate of accidents and mishaps forced the movie to be abandoned, and the project has been dead ever since. However, rumours of a revival have surfaced recently, rumours that have now been confirmed by Gilliam himself.
He told The Independent:
â..As far as weâ..re concerned, itâ..s on. When Johnnyâ..s ready, weâ..re ready. Weâ..re just talking about dates to film. Basically it all depends on his schedule but otherwise weâ..re set. It will be next year some time, before next summer anyway.â.
Gilliam has recently won legal rights to the script, but despite this, he is planning on rewriting the whole thing from scratch.
â..Weâ..re going to completely reshoot it. The intervening years have taught me that I can actually write a much better film. Iâ..m so excited itâ..s going to get done at last.â.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
