Bad luck simply doesn't cut it: the man's '''cursed'''.
''[[The Onion]]'' once joked that if Terry Gilliam were to have a barbecue, [https://web.archive.org/web/20080815221136/http://www.theonion.com/content/node/32920 it would be beset by production delays]. But his perilous productions have resulted in a portfolio of fascinating, if not always successful, films.

** ''The Man Who Killed Don Quixote''... (Though there have been rumors that he's planning to try it again.)
** He was approached to direct ''[[Watchmen (film)|Watchmen]]'' back sometime in the 1990s, but they took him off the project when he insisted that the only way to do the story justice would be with a big-budget miniseries on a channel like HBO. Many still feel he was right, [[Your Mileage May Vary|but as with all things...]]
** J.K. Rowling originally wanted Gilliam to direct ''[[Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (film)|Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone]]'' but [[Warner Brothers]] [[Executive Meddling]] led to [[Chris Columbus]] being hired. Gilliam has stated:
{{quote|''"I was the perfect guy to do Harry Potter. I remember leaving the meeting, getting in my car, and driving for about two hours along Mulholland Drive just so angry. I mean, Chris Columbus' versions are terrible. Just dull. Pedestrian."''}}
** Nevertheless, in 2005, Gilliam also stated he would never direct a ''[[Harry Potter (film)|Harry Potter]]'' movie because he would not enjoy working on a project filled with [[Executive Meddling]].
