Terry Gilliam's Zero Theorem

[_____V_____]

While we all patiently await the release of his The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Terry Gilliam has announced plans for his next film, which is set to shoot as soon as May.

Zero Theorem will revolve around a reclusive computer genius plagued with existential angst who is hard at work on a project designed to discover the meaning of life, according to Screen Daily.

Billy Bob Thornton is apparently starring, while Richard and Dean Zanuck are producing.

Gilliam is still in post-production on The Imaginarium, which stars Johnny Depp, Jude Law, Colin Farrell and the late Heath Ledger.

Oh jeez, Gilliam's products often result in disaster or tragedy, I'm convinced he's cursed.

Christoph Waltz to Star in Terry Gilliam’s THE ZERO THEOREM

With his long-in-development The Man Who Killed Don Quixote delayed yet again, director Terry Gilliam is lining up a different project to tackle as his follow-up to The Imaginarium of Doctor Panassus.

Deadline reports that Christoph Waltz is set to star in The Zero Theorem, which is slated as Gilliam’s next film. The pic is characteristically odd, as Waltz will play a character named Qohen Leth who is an eccentric computer genius bent on discovering the purpose of existence, or lack therof, through a mysterious project.

Production is scheduled to get underway in Europe on October 22nd.
