Apple will be making a TV show adaptation of Terry Gilliam's classic movie 'Time Bandits,' but the filmmaker hasn't signed on to be involved yet.
Director Terry Gilliam told Business Insider he has not signed on yet to be involved in the Apple TV series adaptation of his 1981 movie,"Time Bandits."He's delighted that"Thor: Ragnarok" director Taika Waititi will direct the pilot, but it's the overall tone of the show that concerns him.
"That's the trickier bit," Gilliam said."To get the right comic tone and yet still the innocent magical quality of the thing. All that needs to be there." Director Terry Gilliam's nearly 30-year quest to make"The Man Who Killed Don Quixote" has finally been accomplished. And now he's onto another adventure: seeing his beloved 1981 movie,"Time Bandits," be made into a TV series for Apple.Though Gilliam knows he will receive an executive producer credit on the show, he admitted he's still in the dark about a lot of things because he hasn't officially confirmed he will be part of the production.
And as the decades passed, Gilliam said he was very protective of the property, often declining offers for it to be remade, including one time when, he said, a"respected producer" offered to make it into a trilogy. But there was a catch."It was going to be a franchise, three parts," Gilliam said."It was with one of the major studios because they said they loved it. The only stipulation was they didn't want dwarfs in it. So I said, 'Bye, bye.
