Let's suppose you're Terry Gilliam. Probably a stretch, I know, but humor me. If you're Terry Gilliam and you really want to go back to La Mancha. Because Don Quixote is one of the most legendary figures in all of fiction, wouldn't you want to cast a real heavyweight to not only fill the shoes and help keep what was a terminated production once upon a time on the rails this time around?

Gilliam, as it happens, wants no less than Robert Duvall for The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, at least according to Duvall. The all-time great tells Collider that Gilliam has reached out to him to play the role originally intended for Jean Rochefort, who may not be Bobby Duvall, but he's still pretty damn fantastic (please watch Man on the Train). Rochefort's on-set injury was one of the reasons the film halted production a decade ago. »

There is a story in the new print edition of Paris Match in which "The French Elvis", Johnny Hallyday seeks to dispel recent rumours about his ill health and ease the French public's concerns over one of their living national treasures. As well as promising we've far from seen the last of him yet, Hallyday goes on to tease some potential big screen appearances for the future. Hallyday, if you don't know, is a real pop culture icon in the French speaking world. He's been dragging out the same farewell tour for over two years now, seemingly refusing to let the spotlight dim. He's also appeared in a number of films both rather good (The Man on the Train), bad (Detective) and ugly (The Pink Panther 2). The most exciting piece of Hallyday's new interview is his claim that Quentin Tarantino is currently writing a script with a role set aside just for him. »
