This morning we posted the first trailer for Terry Gilliam’s The Zero Theorem, starring Christoph Waltz, Matt Damon, Tilda Swinton, Ben Wishaw, Peter Stormare and David Thewlis, now we show you the first clip and a new image.
Here
is what Terry Gilliam had to say about the film:
“When
I made Brazil in 1984, I was trying to paint a picture of the world I thought
we were living in then. The Zero Theorem is a glimpse of the world I think we
are living in now. Pat Rushin’s script intrigued me with the many existential
ideas he had incorporated into his funny, philosophic, and touching tale. For
example: What gives meaning to our lives, brings us happiness? Can we ever be
alone in our increasingly connected and constricted world? Is that world under
control or simply chaotic? We’ve tried to make a film that is honest, funny,
beautiful, and surprising; a simple film about a complex modern man waiting for
a call to give meaning to his life; about inescapable relationships and the
longing for love, full of quirky characters and sparkling performances; raising
questions without offering obvious answers. Hopefully, it’s unlike any film you
have seen recently; no zombies, no caped crusaders or alien spacecraft.
Actually, I might have lied about that last item. Having not worked with a
budget this small for several decades, I was forced to work fast and
instinctively, pressured only by time and money. We relied on the freedom to
spin on a dime, to make outrageous creative leaps. The results surprised even
me. I’m proud to have been part of The Zero Theorem.”
