On April 10, 2019, North American
audiences will get the first look at Terry
Gilliam's long-awaited film The Man Who Killed Don
Quixote, co-starring Adam
Driver and Jonathan
Pryce. Over 25 years in the making, the film had its
world premiere at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival. The film will play
in over 700 U.S. cinemas and select Canadian locations for one
night on Wednesday, April 10,
2019, with exclusive bonus features.
Presented by Fathom Events and Screen Media Films, The Man
Who Killed Don Quixote is the story of Toby (Driver), a cynical advertising director,
who finds himself trapped in the outrageous delusions of an old
Spanish shoe-maker (Pryce) who believes himself to be Don Quixote. In the course of their comic
and increasingly surreal adventures, Toby is forced to confront the
tragic repercussions of a film he made in his idealistic youth – a
film that changed the hopes and dreams of a small Spanish village
forever. Can Toby make amends and
regain his humanity? Can Don Quixote
survive his madness and imminent death? Or will love conquer all?
Written and directed by Terry
Gilliam (Monty Python, Brazil, Time Bandits), the film stars
Adam Driver
(BlacKkKlansman, Star Wars: The Force Awakens),
Jonathan Pryce (Tomorrow
Never Dies, Brazil, "Game of
Thrones"), Stellan Skarsgard
(Mamma Mia!, Good Will Hunting), Olga Kurylenko
(Oblivion, Quantum of Solace), and Jordi Molla (Blow, Riddick).
