Back in the '90s, Terry Gilliam pitched the screenplay to Paramount Pictures, but the studio passed. Still, the director's determined to bring the project to life himself. The 84-year-old filmmaker says he's got a new Hollywood agent now, so he's hoping he can get the film made before his time runs out. The zoomboola.com editorial team reminds readers that the British filmmaker launched his cinema career working on films with the legendary comedy troupe Monty Python. He went on to direct cult classics like "Brazil," "12 Monkeys," and "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas".
