Welcome to The Zero Theorem, a futuristic adventure that looks very intriguing and leaves you wanting more - a good start when a trailer is concerned! The Zero Theorem tells the tale of Qohen Leth an extremely talented computer hacker who's life goal is to discover the reason for human existence. (If only he'd seen The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy and he would know that the meaning of life is 42!) By the by, the higher echelons aren't too happy about him snooping around their systems that they send in a love interest in hope to distract him. Will he or won't he give up on his goal?
From what we see here the film looks to be a fantasy drama with elements of sci-fi. The colours and scenery alone are visually stunning alongside the Blade Runner, Doomsday type punk feel. Not to mention the all star line up with the likes of David Thewlis, Ben Whinshaw, Matt Damon, Tilda Swinton and Melanie Thierry as the blonde distraction, Bainstey.
Despite the post apocalyptic setting, The Zero Theorem looks to be worth a watch packed with witty lines and tongue in cheek jokes. Released in March, have a watch of the trailer and see if you are as enticed in as we are.
