Following a festival tour and international release, the latest work from Terry Gilliam will finally be touching down in U.S. theaters and on VOD this fall. The Zero Theorem tracks Christoph Waltz as a computer genius who is tasked with finding the meaning of life and another great preview has landed in the form of a domestic trailer.
Complete with Gilliam’s signature, inventive touch, it’s a world we can’t wait to experience shortly. Amplify and Well Go USA will debut the feature on VOD on August 19th, followed by a theatrical release exactly a month later. Check out the preview below, along with a poster that was denied by the MPAA due to some nudity, for the film also starring Mélanie Thierry, David Thewlis, Lucas Hedges, Ben Whishaw, Tilda Swinton and Matt Damon.
Acclaimed director Terry Gilliam (Brazil, 12 Monkeys, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) returns with the visually stunning sci-fi epic The Zero Theorem, starring Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz as Qohen, an eccentric and reclusive computer genius. Living in isolation, Qohen is obsessively working on a mysterious project personally delegated to him by Management (Matt Damon) aimed at discovering the meaning of life – or the complete lack of one—once and for all. Increasingly disturbed by visits from people he doesn’t fully trust, including the flirtatious Bainsley (Mélanie Thierry), his unpredictable supervisor Job (David Thewlis), and would-be digital therapist Dr. Shrink-Rom (Tilda Swinton), it’s only when he experiences the power of love and desire that he’s able to understand his own reason for being.
