I think Lost in La Mancha is directed by Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe, although it certainly features Terry Gilliam. The two directors are also responsible for Hamster Factor, which is on the DVD of Twelve Monkeys (you probably already know that - forgive me). I'm also very interested in this film.
Of course, I'd be even more interested in Gilliam's The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, but oh well...
You're right about the directors, thanks. I was looking all over for the director of the film and when I couldn't find it, I just assumed it was Gilliam. I easily found it just now, so I suppose I overlooked it the first time.
I actually didn't know about Fulton and Pepe being directors of Hamster Factor (for one, I don't have a DVD player and two, despite being a huge Gilliam fan, I don't like Twelve Monkeys and, believe me, I've tried to).
I read on the Terry Gilliam fanzine that some German insurance company owns the script to The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. On one hand, Gilliam said he wants to get the script back and finally make the movie, but he also likes the idea of just letting the idea go with Lost in La Mancha because he thinks it might be more powerful to let the fragments give a glimpse of what could have been.
I take it the Cassavetes films are hard to find? (I haven't looked into finding them yet).
What annoys me about "12 Monkeys" is that I feel like I've seen Gilliam do the same thing before, in better movies like "Brazil" or "The Fisher King" (although not everyone likes "Fisher King"). "12 Monkeys" just felt like a retread of those movies, and it felt kinda forced to me. I liked it but didn't love it.

Good luck scoring copies of the Cassavetes films!
Shalom, y'all!

Honestly? 12 Monkeys ain't really my fave either. I love parts of it, but overall it just doesn't gel for me.
Yeah, in my experience, the Cassavetes films are tough to run down, but then, I do live in Oklahoma... ;)
