The Thanksgiving weekend was mostly a dead zone, but we reported on some public comments Terry Gilliam made that week about returning to his doomed Don Quixote project, which was the subject of the documentary Lost in La Mancha. At the time, Gilliam said of The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, “I was in some way relieved that it did fall apart, because I didn’t have the money to finish it.

“It’s a good thing it went down when it did because I would have got the blame for going over budget.”

There were other problems besides the budget, including injured actors, a disastrous flood, and more.

Empire reports that Gilliam is now hard at work revising the script for his unfinished film, collaborating with his Fear and Loathing writing partner, Tony Grisoni. “I re-read the greatest script ever written and realize we gotta get rewriting! I really wanna knock that one out in the next month or so.”

Because the film was never finished before, the original script was held up for years before the rights reverted back to Gilliam, who now says he has some “very different ideas” for the movie. The director would like to begin filming this year, according to Empire, but it’s all contingent on Johnny Depp’s schedule.

In a letter in support of EJF, Johnny Depp has called for an immediate response to the crisis before it is too late.

?Our seas and the people that depend upon them are facing a critical threat,? he wrote. ?Pirate fishing operations are plundering fish stocks the world over, which in turn undermine all attempts at their sustainable management, already under pressure from widespread misdirection. The devastating impact of this illegal form of fishing is felt not only by our marine ecosystems, but also by the millions of people living in some of the world?s poorest countries who rely on healthy fish stocks as an essential source of both food and employment.?

TheBadandUgly.com has received a casting announcement that suggests the Hunter S. Thompson adaptation will be Depp’s next, as it lists a March 2009 start date. Depp will play Paul Kemp, a freelance journalist writing for a rundown newspaper in 1950s Puerto Rico and surrounded by a bunch of lost souls bent on self-destruction. Bruce Robinson wrote the screenplay and will direct.

Depp previously starred in the big screen adaptation of Thompson’s “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.”

The casting call is for Chenault, the love interest in “The Rum Diary,” and you can read more details here
