First Clip from Terry Gilliam's THE ZERO THEOREM

"The Church of Batman the Redeemer needs you!" 

The future is a very colorful and gritty world full of advertisements in director Terry Gilliam's new film The Zero Theorem. The movie stars Christoph Waltz, who plays a character named Qohen Leth, "an eccentric and reclusive computer genius plagued with existential angst who works on a mysterious project aimed at discovering the purpose of existence—or the lack thereof—once and for all." This first clip follows the character walking through the crazy streets of the city he lives in. 

The movie also stars Tilda Swinton, Matt Damon, David Thewlis, and Ben Whishaw. I love the films that Gilliam has made, and this one looks like it's going to be great! I can't wait to see it.

Living in an Orwellian corporate world where “mancams” serve as the eyes of a shadowy figure known only as Management, Leth (Waltz) works on a solution to the strange theorem while living as a virtual cloistered monk in his home—the shattered interior of a fire-damaged chapel. His isolation and work are interrupted now and then by surprise visits from Bainsley, a flamboyantly lusty love interest who tempts him with “tantric biotelemetric interfacing” (virtual sex) and Bob. Latter is the rebellious whiz-kid teenage son of Management who, with a combination of insult-comedy and an evolving true friendship, spurs on Qohen’s efforts at solving the theorem. But these visits turn out to be intentional diversions orchestrated by Management to keep control of Qohen’s progress. Bob creates a virtual reality “inner-space” suit that will carry Qohen on an inward voyage, a close encounter with the hidden dimensions and truth of his own soul, wherein lie the answers both he and Management are seeking. The suit and supporting computer technology will perform an inventory of Qohen’s soul, either proving or disproving the Zero Theorem.
