PARIS (AP) — Monty Python star Terry Gilliam's long-awaited film "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote" will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival next week after all.

A Paris court rejected an effort by Portuguese producer Paulo Branco to block the showing of the film. The court instead ruled Wednesday in favor of the Cannes organizers.

Branco, who initially worked with Gilliam on the film, claims he also has rights to the movie. Gilliam contests Branco's claims.

The film, nearly two decades in the making, is scheduled to close the festival May 19. It has been plagued by production problems, funding issues and legal woes.

While Branco lost the Paris court case, he scored a separate victory when Amazon dropped plans to distribute the film.

The film stars Adam Driver and Stellan Skarsgard.
