Gilliam for Good Omens

Anyone who's ever read Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchet's Good Omens would agree that there's absolutely no director on earth that could pull off the movie as well as Terry Gilliam. (cries of "Here Here!" no doubt)
And indeed, Pratchet and Gaiman belive the very same. Gilliam has been attached to the prospective project for a long time now, but it seems once again, Hollywood is determined to thwart the legendary director in the most effective way it can. Money.
"I was doing this before The Brothers Grimm, before Tideland, but it needs A-list stars to work -- to get the money is what I mean -- and none of the A-list stars are right for the part. That's what's frustrating." Gilliam explains:
"Here's my beef with Hollywood. Before The Brothers Grimm, we went out to Hollywood to get [Good Omens] made. We had raised $45 million from the rest of the world, and we needed $15 [million] out of Hollywood. I had two actors, Johnny Depp and Robin Williams. I couldn't get $15 million out of Hollywood with those two people. They said, 'Johnny, nah, he does those European art movies, Chocolat, The Man Who Cried, and Robin -- his career is finished.' And now there's Pirates of the Caribbean."
I'd make Terry right there and no mistake. In fact even Gaiman and Pratchet have both openly said much the same about how fitting it would be to have their hilariously quirky novel transformed for film by Gilliam -
"Terry Pratchett and I put our heads together," said Gaiman, "and thought; well, we really want Terry Gilliam to make it. We want this to be a Terry Gilliam film. We don't want this to be an anybody-else film. We've said no to lots of people who want to make it into a cool big commercial film. We like the idea of it being a Terry Gilliam film. So we put our heads together and we decided that it should cost him a groat. And I don't believe they've actually made groats, which is an old English coin worth about four pence since about the 1780s. Which means he is going to have to go to EBay."

Anyone got any groats in the closet? cos if thats all it would take, I'll buy him one myself!
Oh, and if someone could lend me $15 million that would be very much appreciated too.
