The director's first ill-fated attempt at adapting the classic 17th century story was captured in 2002 documentary Lost In La Mancha.
He was linked to a return to the film last year and has now confirmed to Variety that the project is underway.
Gilliam said: "I'm not so much a filmmaker as someone who gets possessed by an idea and it doesn't leave me until I make the film. I commit myself to it so fully."

Gilliam said that he hopes to start shooting the movie next spring.
