Terry Gilliam Updates on The Man Who Killed Don Quixote and The Defective Detective

With the iconoclastic director's latest, The Zero Theorem, hitting theaters tomorrow, CraveOnline caught up Terry Gilliam and managed to get a few updates on several of his long-gestating projects. "Yes," Gilliam responds when asked about whether any movement has been made on his The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. "The producer is talking to a couple agents of a couple actors at the moment, and somebody who says they’ve got the money for us. So these things are happening. Whether it all becomes a reality we’ll find out soon." Gilliam also hints that he may soon have a new approach to The Defective Detective, a project he's wanted to see happen for years that tells the story of a detective who follows a missing girl into a fictional storybook world. "We’ve been talking about something," Gilliam says, "and I shouldn’t say much of anything, but there have been some talks among my former agent [about] resurrecting it in some form or t’other...

The 'Angelina Jolie effect': Her mastectomy revelation doubled NHS breast cancer testing referrals

Angelina Jolie’s decision to go public about her double mastectomy led to a doubling in NHS referrals for genetic tests of breast cancer risk, a new study has found. The actress’s announcement in May last year coincided with an immediate uplift in GP referrals to family history clinics, with referral rates two-and-a-half times higher in June and July than in the same period in 2012. Researchers said that the "Angelina Jolie effect" lasted until at least October last year. Genetic testing is used to determine whether women with a family history of breast cancer carry mutations of specific genes, which significantly increase breast cancer risk and are believed to be responsible for between five and 10 per cent of all breast cancers. Ms Jolie’s decision to have both breasts removed was based on a positive test for a mutation of the BRCA1 gene. Her mother had died of breast cancer, and her aunt died only two weeks after the actress revealed she had undergone a mastect...
