Last month, Variety magazine inadvertently reported that Terry Gilliam had died, sparking a viral flurry of condolences from around the world. The rumor persisted for hours -- an eternity in Internet time -- and left unsuspecting friends and family of the original member of Monty Python's Flying Circus and the director of twelve films in shock.
Gilliam -- whose body of work includes such cult classics as "12 Monkeys" and "Brazil" -- is, of course, very much alive and, appropriately, pitching his new book, "Gilliamesque: A Pre-Posthumous Memoir." In the clip above, he shares how he reacted to being killed off and resurrected by a premature Variety obit.
