GEEK OUT! is a quick glimpse of something cool without a story’s worth of text to wade through.

Terry Gilliam’s new film The Zero Theorem promises to be as twisted and uniquely realized as the director’s other films, and today a new poster for the movie has been revealed.

Hit the jump to see the cast, read a short synopsis, and watch an odd 3-minute video intro from Terry Gilliam at Comic-Con.

THE ZERO THEOREM revolves around an eccentric and reclusive computer genius (two-time Oscar winner Christoph Waltz) plagued with existential angst who works on a mysterious project aimed at discovering the purpose of existence ­or the lack thereof­ once and for all. However, it is only once he experiences the power of love and desire that he is able to understand his very reason for being.

The film stars Christoph Waltz, Matt Damon, David Thewlis, Melanie Thierry, Ben Whishaw, Tilda Swinton, Peter Stormare, and Lucas Hedges.
