Terry Gilliam on FreshAir 2003:
FreshAir: What did you think of Harry Potter [ed. a movie for which Gilliam was auditioned and rejected]?
Gilliam: It was crap. It was pedestrian — by the numbers
… unlike Lord of the Rings
The interview focuses on the documentary Lost in La Mancha, which follows Gilliam as his project to make a Don Quixote film adaptation falls into ruin and despair.
