If you're going to reboot a ridiculously popular film for TV you're most likely going to want to have the the person who came up with the concept in the first place on side, but it looks as though that won't be the case with SyFy's 12 Monkeys adaptation.
Terry Gilliam was the man behind the 1995 Sci Fi flick and he's been telling Screen International that he's not at all impressed with the idea of Terra Nova writers Terry Matala and Travis Fickett adapting his movie for US TV.
"I know nothing about that. That's just ridiculous. It doesn't have anything to do with me and no-one has contacted me", the Monty Python legend said."It's a very dumb idea. If it was going to be any good, it would have to be written by David and Janet Peoples, who wrote the film."
Oh well, here's hoping they weren't banking on the idea of him getting involved...
