Terry Gilliam has confirmed shooting for 'The Man Who Killed Don Quixote' will start shortly after Christmas.
Gilliam, 73, has been trying to make the film - inspired by Miguel De Cervantes' 17th Century Spanish classic Don Quixote - for some time, and it now finally appears to have been given the go-ahead.
He told TheWrap.com: "I keep incorporating my own life into it and shifting it. The basic underlying premise of the version Johnny [Depp, who was due to star in the film] was involved in was that he actually was going to be transported back to the 17th century.
"And now it all takes place now, it's contemporary. It's more about how movies can damage people."
Gilliam - a member of the 'Monty Python' comedy troupe - added: "I've done it so many times - or not done it so many times - I'll believe it when I see it. However, I'm behaving as if it's all going to happen as planned."
Casting for the film is ongoing, and Gilliam refused to divulge any secrets as to who may appear in the film when it finally hits cinema screens.

Cara Delevigne has been causing chaos on the set of 'Pan'.
The model - who plays a mermaid in the much-anticipated new film starring Hugh Jackman - accidentally missed her flight from Los Angeles to London, meaning she missed her cue time and filming was disrupted for the day.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper that some staff were "understandably annoyed", adding: "It's not like modelling, where there can be one big name on set that people pander to - movies are more expensive and involve a lot more people.
"There's a tight filming schedule and if someone who is pivotal in a scene isn't there, the whole thing goes out of the window. It's incredibly hard to pull back the lost time.
"But Cara had been in LA, so it wasn't like she could get there any quicker than the next flight. They just had to push it all back."
Cara, 21, was recently accused of falling asleep midway through an interview with US Vogue magazine, while photographer Tim Walker also said she slept for seven hours during a photo-shoot for Mulberry.
'Pan' will open in cinemas in summer 2015.

Sylvester Stallone wanted to "strangle" Arnold Schwarzenegger every day at the height of their fame.
The 'Expendables 3' actor is now friends with his former rival but he admits they were so competitive with one another in the 1980s, they couldn't bear to be in the same room.
He said: "Did you ever have someone you wanted to strangle every day? It got to the point where we stopped talking to each other and couldn't be in the same room.
"We came along at the same time, we started to pioneer this action thing -- although I was first -- and we were so competitive."
And the 68-year-old actor claimed the former Governor of California made a cunning attempt to trash his career by starting a rumour he wanted a role in 'Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot', prompting Stallone to quickly sign up for the 1992 flop comedy, which was savaged by critics at the same time Schwarzenegger, 67, was winning praise for 'Terminator 2'.
He admitted during an event in Manchester, North West England, last week: "I heard Arnold wanted to do that movie and after hearing that, I said I wanted to do it. He tricked me! He's always been clever."

Christina Hendricks says new film 'God's Pocket' feels like a celebration of co-star Philip Seymour Hoffman's life.
The new flick - which was directed by Christina's 'Mad Men' co-star John Slattery - was one of the last Seymour Hoffman made before his death in February, and Hendricks said it was a privilege to appear alongside such an esteemed actor.
She said: "Working with Philip was amazing. He's an extraordinary, extraordinary actor and I felt very, very lucky to get to work with him.
"I know Philip was proud of the film, and he told me that he was. I think while we're still talking about it and we're showing it to people, he feels very present to me.
"So I guess I'm trying to think of it as a celebration of the experience and the pride of the film that we made."
This sentiment was echoed by director John Slattery, who said: "Working with Phil, it's hard to describe in a word. He's a remarkable talent and inclusive and collaborative and a brilliant, brilliant actor."
'God's Pocket' opens in cinemas on August 8.

Warner Bros. has decided to change the release date of the eagerly-awaited 'Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice'.
The decision to move the date of the much-hyped flick - starring Ben Affleck - to March 25, 2016, means that the studio has avoided clashing with Marvel's 'Captain America 3', which is sure to attract a similar amount of attention.
'Captain America 3' will be released in the US on May 6, 2016, meaning there will be a healthy amount of space between both blockbuster films.
Marvel supremo Stan Lee recently joked he should be offered a cameo in 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice'.
Lee, the former president and chairman of the company, said rivals DC Comics should ask him to make an appearance in their upcoming sequel to make it more successful.
He quipped: "DC could probably make a lot more money with 'Superman' and 'Batman' if they announced that I'd have a cameo in it!
"People wouldn't believe it - they'd have to go to the theatre and see it!"
Lee, 91, also said that he's tremendously proud of the success Marvel Studio's films have performed at the box office.

Ben Whishaw doesn't fear being typecast now he has come out as a gay man.
The 33-year-old actor - famous for playing gadget wizard Q in James Bond movie 'Skyfall' - revealed he was homosexual last year, with his agent revealing he was in a civil partnership with Australian composer Mark Bradshaw.
Whishaw doesn't believe his openness about his sexuality will stop him from landing certain roles now.
Asked whether he worries about being pigeon-holed, Ben said: "It's not a consideration for me, because gay characters are as varied and different as heterosexual characters.
"I've played all sorts of different people, so I don't see the need to balance them out."
Whishaw says he never considers the sexuality of a character before accepting a role, explaining that his only real concern is whether the storyline is any good.
He told Time Out magazine: "It's only worth doing anything if you believe in the story and the experience, there's nothing else to think about."
Looking to the future, he is keen to test his talents by accepting different challenges.
He added: "I'd like to try directing. I'm ambitious about making things. I'm not ambitious about getting places. I don't know where there is to get to, really. I used to be but I don't feel that at all now."
Whishaw's next roles include playing iconic Queen frontman Freddie Mercury - who was homosexual - in a biopic and a lea part in 'Lilting', which tells the story of a man whose male partner dies and he is then left struggling to decide whether he should tell the mother about his and her son's relationship.
