Sci-Fi Film and Television Developments

Mr. Nobody
8/21/09 – SCI FI Wire reported that Mr. Nobody, a sci-fi film starring Jared Leto and Diane Kruger, will compete in the Venice Film Festival. Leto plays a 120-year-old man reflecting on his life from a perspective in the future.  "Mr. Nobody was just selected in the Venice Film Festival, so I'm going to go to that," Kruger said.  "You see Jared Leto, he's 120 when the movie starts, and it's all in flashbacks," Kruger explained. The memories include alternate versions of events from the main character's life. "Like his memory of what would have been, what was not, people that he met along the way or may not have."  Kruger will play one of the women he meets along the way. "It's a big love story, and I play sort of a punk," she said.  Views of the future will be confined to the aging man's deathbed. "We don't really ever go into the future unless we see him, but he's about to die, basically," she said.  Jaco van Dormael directed Mr. Nobody from his own screenplay.

07/30/07 - Set in the not-so-distant future, the story follows Nemo Nobody, who, at 120 years old, is the last mortal surrounded by happy immortals as he relives his real and imaginary years of marriage.  Jared Leto and Sarah Polley will star in this SF romantic drama.
