Washington, August 10 (ANI): Colin Farrell may step into the shoes of Johnny Depp, after the latter has reportedly pulled out of the movies based on Spanish literary hero Don Quixote.
Director Terry Gilliam was said to have roped in Depp in 2000 to star in the project, originally entitled ‘The Man Who Killed Don Quixote’.
But the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star was said to have dropped out of the movie due to scheduling conflicts.
And now, the filmmaker allegedly had his gaze fixed on Farrell to fill in the role.
“Terry is a fan of Colin and it’s felt he’s one of the few people capable of filling Johnny’s shoes,” Contactmusic quoted a source as telling Britain’s Daily Express. (ANI)
