In 2009, Terry Gilliam was attached to direct a cinematic adaptation. After struggling to finish a final draft of the screenplay, and only raising one quarter of the necessary budget (100 million dollars), Gilliam deemed the comic "unfilmable".

>"Reducing [the story] to a two or two-and-a-half hour film [...] seemed to me to take away the essence of what Loco Bandito is about."

Is it truly unfilmable? Is there anyone who could possibly pull if off?
