The film is from director Terry Gilliam, a Monty Python alumnus and director of the feature films Brazil, Twelve Monkeys and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. In The Zero Theorem, the popular European quadricycle populates the busy streets of near-future London. We can see the quirky, agoraphobic protagonist Qohen Leth (played by Oscar-winning Christoph Waltz) darting on foot between the Renault EVs as he navigates the lively and connected world he tries to find meaning in. And while the main character might have trouble finding his place in this vibrant new world, the Twizy fits right in. "We're using the Twizy as the predominant picture vehicle in the movie," says executive producer Patrick Newell. "It's the car that you'll see driving on the streets in all of the scenes." Its electric motor provides just 17 horsepower and 42 pound-feet of torque, but Newell says the two-seat Twizy "has a lot of power, it handles really well, it's low to the ground. It's surprisingly got a lot of pick-up for a little car." That's not so surprising, considering the Twizy's sub-1,000-pound weight. It also makes it easy to get the 15 Twizy vehicles used in the film to and from set if they had to be towed. In the film, the numerous Twizys share the road with motorcycles, vehicles created from electric golf carts, and "hero" vehicles from the 30s and 40s. The Zero Theorem has already been released in certain parts of the world, and will come to the US this summer. See the Twizys in action as they easily navigate the crowded streets (it's almost as if they were choreographed) of future London, as well as Patrick Newall talking about using the car in the film and what it's like to drive, in the video below.
