1996:
Robin Williams first became attached to the project while it was at Paramount and a draft by Nicholas Meyer was being considered. At that stage the plan was to have Williams co-star with Sean Connery, but the deal fell apart - perhaps for the better. This new version of Quixote is going to use a screenplay by Waldo Salt, first written in 1965 and considered something of a legend in Hollywood. Numerous drafts have been attempted over the years, but none made it to production. As John Cleese was finishing up on Dangerous Creatures, he was approached by about the project. Apparently Williams was in on the project, as long as the co-star was of his own choosing - and Williams wanted Cleese as his partner. Cleese apparently jumped at the chance, and is the one who suggested director Fred Schepisi to helm the picture
