MONTY Python’s Terry Gilliam was reportedly rushed to hospital after “suffering a stroke” at home.
The movie director, 77, is thought to have fallen ill over the weekend when he was due in court over his film The Man Who Killed Don Quixote.
The 77-year-old suffered a “mild stroke” at his London home, French newspaper Nice-Matin reported.
It comes amid a battle over a distribution rights disagreement – but Terry hopes his movie will close the Cannes Film Festival. A result is expected this afternoon.
It’s believed he is now recovering at home after a brief stay in hospital.
Terry’s film has been in production since 1989, but has come under fire from a former producer who wants to stop it being screened.
He began his career as an animator before becoming part of Monty Python with Eric Idle, Terry Jones, John Cleese, Graham Chapman and Michael Palin.
Later he became a well-known director with films such as Time Bandits, Brazil and 12 Monkeys.
