Considering the bad luck and despair that have afflicted would-be adapters of Don Quixote over the years — from Orson Welles to Terry Gilliam — I kind of love the idea that Joel Silver is developing a version as a tentpole action picture for Warner Bros. How can you resist the scope of what will go wrong on that set? I mean, can you throw money at a curse? Will Silver’s default leading man Robert Downey Jr. really look passable as a deluded Spanish retiree? Anyway, this is happening. [ Pajiba ]
