Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Lost in La Mancha is a making-of turned documentary film directed by Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe and released in 2002. Narration is provided by Jeff Bridges.It chronicles director Terry Gilliam's disastrous first attempt at filming The Man Who Killed Don Quixote in 2000. The project was a fantasy-adventure-comedy inspired by the Miguel de Cervantes novel The Ingenious Nobleman Don Quixote of La Mancha and was set to star Jean Rochefort as Don Quixote and Johnny Depp as Toby Grisoni.It was shot with the purpose of being the film's making-of, but the failure in getting the movie made back then led it to be retitled Lost in la Mancha and to be released independently as a one-of-a-kind "unmaking-of" documentary.The Man Who Killed Don Quixote eventually resumed filming with a new cast in 2016 and was released in 2018, a testament to Terry Gilliam's sheer determination in finishing his passion project. A sequel to Lost in La Mancha, titled He dreamed of Giants, by the same directors and dealing with Gilliam's mindset and determination, is due to release.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Credits Gag: A "Coming soon" message was superimposed on the footage of the giants and put at the end of the documentary, maybe to twist the knife a bit further given how doomed the project seemed to be. The film would eventually come out... in 2018, although no one could predict that back in the day.

Movie-Making Mess: The Man Who Killed Don Quixote is one of the most infamous examples of invokedTroubled Production for the sheer amount of bad luck and unpreparedness involved. To wit:Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Medium Blending: There are animated sections here and there at the beginning, which are made of animated storyboards to help visualize how Gilliam saw a scene and of Deranged Animation to explain Gilliam's situation in Hollywood.

Finagle's Law: Think about everything that can go wrong during pre-production and on a movie set, and see it unfold before your eyes.

invokedDeleted Role: Vanessa Paradis originally played Dulcinea del Toboso, and some scenes with her were filmed. The role didn't make it to the 2018 movie.
