It's been awhile since we've gotten a proper dose of Terry Gilliam weirdness (2009's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, to be exact), so it's safe to say that we're about due. Enter Zero Theorem, which stars Christoph Waltz as Qohen Leth, a computer hacker working on a way to determine whether or not life has meaning.
Yes, that sounds right up Mr. Gilliam's alley, doesn't it?
The clip itself is good fun, with some light physical comedy from Waltz (who looks to be channeling Christopher Lloyd a little bit), while the cyberpunk cityscape owes more to Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson's celebrated Transmetropolitancomic than it does to Blade Runner. With all of the weirdness going on in this clip (ahem...Batman!), it's probably worth watching a few times...which is exactly what we'll be doing for the rest of the day.
Zero Theorem opens on December 20, 2013. Now, if only there was some word on that animated project that Mr. Gilliam was circling awhile back...
