Ken Jennings Left Jeopardy! Bosses Screaming After On-Air Screw Up
Mistakes happen to everyone and they do happen on television. However, with a show like Jeopardy!, the answers are right there in front of host Ken Jennings.

Fifteen years after Terry Gilliam first tried to film his unique take on the 17th century literary classic ‘The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha’, the legendary director has announced that his third attempt at The Man Who Killed Don Quixote should begin production around September 29 2014.
The literary classic, written by Spanish novelist, poet and playwright Miguel De Cervantes, follows the adventures of Alonso Quixana as he sets out to revive the concept of chivalry under the name ‘Don Quixote’. Gilliam’s version takes that source material and combines it with modern satire, diverting from the original tale early on by switching Quixote’s sidekick, Sancho Panza, for a 21st century advertising executive who has been “thrown back in time”.
The first chapter of the long, painful story of The Man Who Killed Don Quixote was documented in the 2002 film Lost In La Mancha. Intended as a ‘making of...

Terry Gilliam's The Man Who Killed Don Quixote will begin shooting in September.
His follow-up to The Zero Theorem will film in the Canary Islands, reports Empire.
Gilliam has famously made multiple attempts to bring Cervantes's classic novel to the big screen, but has been scuppered by a series of disasters including injuries, financial woes and acts of God.
"I'm hoping it's the lucky 11," said Gilliam. "We keep rewriting the script each time, too, so it's a slightly different film each time. It's the same film but the details change.
"Maybe it's better - it's certainly slightly smaller to fit into the new clothing we wear, which are cheap clothes these days."
Of his refusal to give up on the project, he said: "It's obsessive... desperate... pathetic... foolish. It's this growth, this tumour that's become part of my system that has to get out if I'm to survive.

Stephen Fry is perfectly cast as Oscar, but this sombre biopic attempts to cover too much of the writer and poet's life
Wilde (1997)
Director: Brian Gilbert
Entertainment grade: B+
History grade: A–
Oscar Wilde was a Victorian playwright and poet. Apparently, he had nothing to declare but his genius.
Celebrity
You may not expect this film to begin in the American west, but it does. Wilde (Stephen Fry, who could not be more perfectly cast) is on a speaking tour of the Us. A silver mine in Colorado is being named after him. Thoughtfully, the owners have filled it with hunky miners who are mostly naked. He addresses these "enormous, powerfully-built men … their brawny arms folded over their muscular chests, a loaded gun on each thigh" (his description) on the subject of 16th-century Italian goldsmith Benvenuto Cellini. They ask why Wilde hasn't brought Cellini along. Wilde explains sadly that he is dead.

The Wrap's Steve Pond has read some version or other of Charlie Kaufman's screenplay for Frank or Francis and finds it to be "a twisted and bitter broadside against nearly every aspect of the movie business, from filmmakers to critics to audiences." As Movie City News warns: Spoilers ahead. Kaufman will begin shooting in January with with Nicolas Cage, Jack Black, Steve Carell and Kevin Kline.
For the Independent, Rob Sharp talks with Terry Gilliam who may or may not direct an English National Opera production of Berlioz's Benvenuto Cellini and may or may not direct an adaptation of Paul Auster's novel Mr Vertigo.
Melissa Anderson for Artforum: "Slava Tsukerman's 1982 cult classic, Liquid Sky, may be the first example of heroin cheek, imagining an invasion of extraterrestrials drawn to a city where new-wave androgynes languidly hope to score and the Empire State Building looms as a giant hypodermic needle.

Woody Allen is back on sparkling form as Owen Wilson finds himself on the expat literary scene of 20s Paris
Few directors have given me more pleasure over the past 40 years than Woody Allen, so it is a great relief to see him emerge after a fallow period of disappointments and disasters with his best film since Everyone Says I Love You in 1996. Midnight in Paris is a cinematic soufflé that rises to perfection, a wry, funny, touching picture, pursuing some of his favourite tropes and themes but with sufficient asperity to give a sting to the nostalgia it embraces. Standing in for Allen himself and dressed similarly in plaid shirt and khaki trousers, Owen Wilson plays Gil, a youngish Hollywood screenwriter and would-be novelist best known for his skills at rewrites, a diffident, humorous man with a great respect for high culture and a love of popular art but...
