Paterson: 'Don Quixote call hasn't come'
Bill Paterson has discussed his role in Terry Gilliam's revival of his abandoned movie The Man Who Killed Don Quixote.

The Scottish actor was slated to begin filming alongside Johnny Depp in November 2000, but production was cancelled after just one week when star Jean Rochefort was seriously injured.

Speaking to DS about whether he will appear in the revived film, he said: "I think Terry is doing it again but the call hasn't come! I'm not sure what Terry's up to.

"It's been several years and actors get older. There's a new bunch of people."

However, Paterson praised the director for being a "great man", adding: "I see him quite often because we're quite close neighbours, although he's a busy man so he's always away."

Paterson can be seen in ITV1's Law & Order: UK from February 23.
