'MR. NOBODY' TRAILER

 JARED LETO, TOBY REGBO, RHYS IFANS, DIANE KRUGER

Your trailer for this Saturday is a deeply original and unusual one: MR. NOBODY, starring Jared Leto, Toby Regbo, Rhys Ifans, Diane Kruger, it comes out in USA this November, although it was shot back in 2009 and has, since then, become a cult movie.  The film tells the life story of Nemo Nobody, a 118 year-old man who is the last mortal on Earth after the human race has achieved quasi-immortality. Nemo, memory fading, refers to his three main loves and to his parent's divorce and subsequent hardships endured at three main moments in his life; him at age nine, fifteen and thirty-four. Nemo tells the story including alternate life paths, often changing course with the flick of a decision at each of those ages.
