Gilliam's coming movie? A take on the Paul Auster novel, Mr. Vertigo.
From a story in the Los Angeles Times...
Filmmaker Terry Gilliam is at work on a script based on Paul Auster's novel, "Mr. Vertigo." Auster's best-known film work has been written directly for the screen -- 1995's "Smoke" won him the Best First Screenplay prize at the Independent Spirit Awards.
For his part, Gilliam has adapted books to screen before, notably the 1988 film "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen," from a children's book series, and 1998's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" from the book by Hunter S. Thompson.
"You read books," Gilliam said at a recent film festival in Poland, "and at first think, oh, that would make a great film. And then you realize, no, it wouldn't make a great film." But then he remembered one that would.
