TERRY GILLIAM WALKED OFF THE SET OF TAIKA WAITITI’S ‘TIME BANDITS’

January 20, 2023 Jordan Ruimy


Taika Waititi is currently in New Zealand directing the first three episodes of
his Apple series adaptation of “Time Bandits.” This is an ambitious project that
could easily go wrong. Terry Gilliam, the 1981 movie’s director, had perfectly
balanced that fine line between humor and drama.

Gilliam, who has an Executive Producer credit on the Apple series, decided to
visit the New Zealand set last month. The cast and crew soon realized just how
irritated Gilliam was by what he was seeing. “He wasn’t happy. He kept groaning
and making remarks,” one crew member told me.

“Terry was supposed to be there for two weeks but he left after three days,”
this same person adds. “His disdain for the entire project was quite obvious.
You probably won’t be hearing any praise for this series from him anytime soon.”

Gilliam not being a Taika Waititi fan isn’t a total shocker. It probably doesn’t
help that Gilliam had absolutely zero creative input when it comes to this new
series. Fact of the matter is that these two filmmakers have different styles of
comedy, both tonally and thematically. Waititi’s comedy is more infantile,
whereas Gilliam’s veers on the cheeky satirical.

Gilliam is the director of such classics as "Monty Python and the Holy Grail,"
"Brazil," "12 Monkeys," and "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," he’s currently
looking for funding on a new project.

According to Gilliam, the premise of this upcoming new film would involve God
wanting to wipe out humanity, because he's so disappointed by what has gone down
on planet earth, only for Satan to convince God to create a new Adam and Eve to
create a new improved humanity.
