After a failed attempt in 2009, Terry Gilliam's The Zero Theorem entered production last year, with the finished product premiering today at the Venice Film Festival. Sharing some of it's DNA with Gilliam's 1984 film Brazil, The Zero Theorem stars Christoph Waltz as Qohen Leth, a reclusive computer hacker living in an Orwellian corporate world. Approached by the mysterious Management (Matt Damon), Leth begins work on solving The Zero Theorem, the mathematical equation that proves wheteher life has meaning or not. The film also stars Mélanie Theirry, Peter Stormare, David Thewlis, Tilda Swinton, Lucas Hedges, and Ben Whishaw. There is no official release date set yet, but it should reach our screens sometime in 2014.
From the synopsis, the movie will be the usual slice of wonderful Gilliam weirdness, and this first clip from the movie looks absolutely fantastic, offering a glimpse at the multi coloured hell of a world the movie has imagined. The Church of Batman made me laugh. Considering how fans view the character I think we're only a few years off from that being a reality.
