EXCLUSIVE!

Like many of you I had heard the rumors of Terry Gilliam making a new short film in Naples so, I contacted him and asked him if this was true and if it was, did he have anything to share with The Man Who Killed Don Quixote Support Site about the film. I just heard back from him and he tells me

“I am indeed doing a little film in Naples. It is being paid for by the Garofalo Pasta company. They’ve been sponsoring short films about Naples every year for the last four. I wrote the script as an exercise. It’s called The Wholly Family.”

Gilliam went on to tell me that the film is based on his script, not on the Eve Merriam poem as some may have thought. He continued to say,

“Nicola [Pecorini] is behind the camera once again as well as Gabriella Pscucci stitching the costumes.”

Filming in beautiful Naples definitely has it’s perks. Gilliam has found

“…the food is fantastic!”
