Salman Rushdie’s ‘Quichote’ shortlisted for 2019 Booker Prize
Inspired by the classic "Don Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes, "Quichotte" is one of the most anticipated books of the year and opened to exceptional reviews from the media.
Actor Tim Blake Nelson is set play the titular role in The True Don Quixote, a modern day reimagining of Miguel de Cervantes' classic story.
Nelson will star as a man who is inspired by the fictional Quixote, who spent too much time with romance stories that he started believing he is a knight, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Chris Poche is the writer and director of the project, which has begun principal photography in New Orleans.
