Continually on the precipice of happening (or not), Terry Gilliam‘s "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote" appears to be flirting with a new cast member to join John Hurt in the troubled production. "Unbroken" and "Starred Up" star Jack O’Connell is apparently "in discussions" for the project, which is now tentatively aiming to shoot next fall. It would certainly be a major coup for Gilliam, with O’Connell sure to be more of a household name following Angelina Jolie‘s World War II later this year. But you never know with ‘Don Quixote’ how things will shake out, so we’ll just have to wait and see. [Daily Mail]
