quietearth [Celluloid 05.22.08] movie news scifi drama



Billed as a love story that spans different time zones and both the 20th and 21st centuries, Mr. Nobody is somewhat of an enigma right now. There isn't any trailer, but the photography on the stills I found looks incredible. Beyond that we have a synopsis, but it really doesn't give us much for a direction on the film, although it's already sold to many territories. "Nemo Nobody leads an ordinary existence at his wife's side, Elise, and their 3 children until the day when reality skids and he wakes up as an old man in the year 2092. At 120, Mr. Nobody is both the oldest man in the world and the last mortal of a new mankind where nobody dies anymore. But that doesn't seem to interest or bother him very much. The only questions that preoccupy him in the present is whether he lived the right life for himself, loved the woman whom he was supposed to love, and had the children whom he was meant to have... now his purpose is to find the right answer." Belgian director Jaco van Dormael both wrote and directed this and it's currently in post, with a release scheduled sometime in 2009. Check after the break for stills.
