The trailer for Terry Gilliam’s latest movie The Zero Theorem has been released, and, like his previous triumphs Brazil and 12 Monkeys, it throws a mundane reality against a fantastical dream, set in a futuristic dystopia. Only this time, there are Brit-thesp favorites like David Thewlis (Harry Potter), Tilda Swinton (We Need To Talk About […]
One of the reasons Skyfall was such an enormous hit as a film was the way it cleverly brought together the best themes of the 50 year long James Bond franchise, without spending too much time pointing at its own face in a mirror and laughing with glee.
