1969 is a groovy time to be alive and in Hollywood. A high energy, electrifying, vibrant world where dreams can come true, Vikar intends to make the most of it. But for every success and every dream achieved, there runs the risk of tragedy.
Vikar, a 24-year old architecture student, is a lost soul journeying through Hollywood 1969, a land of myths, beauty, and monsters. The studio system is in decay, and a new generation of brash filmmakers are on the rise. With his shaved head marked by a tattoo from his favorite film, 1951’s “A Place in the Sun”, Vikar is a bizarre presence even amid the dreamers and players. He finds work first building sets, then as an apprentice editor obsessed with wielding the power of moving images. As his involvement in the creative process deepens, so does his fascination with a tragic screen goddess named Soledad. Together they discover just how hard it is to live in the blurred boundary between reality and illusion.
Based on the novel by Steve Erickson, ZEROVILLE is directed by James Franco and written by Paul Felton and Ian Olds, and stars James Franco, Megan Fox, Seth Rogen, Joey King, Danny McBride, and Craig Robinson, with Jacki Weaver.
