Caleb Landry Jones, Peter Sarsgaard and Andrea Riseborough to Star in Michael Almereyda’s ‘Zero K,’ Produced by Rt Features and Keep Your Head

Cannes’ best actor winner Caleb Landry Jones (“Nitram”), Emmy-nominated actor Peter Sarsgaard (“Memory”) and Oscar-nominated actor Andrea Riseborough (“To Leslie”) are set to star in Michael Almereyda’s (“Hamlet”), an adaptation of Don DeLillo’s New York Times best-selling novel “Zero K.” Rodrigo Teixeira’s leading Brazilian label Rt Features (“I’m Still Here”) and Anthony Katagas’s Keep Your Head will produce, with shooting scheduled to begin early 2026 in São Paulo, Brazil.

“Zero K,” which marks the fourth collaboration between Teixeira and Katagas, follows a young man drawn into the designs of his tech-billionaire father, landing in a remote desert compound where the wealthy seek to extend human limits through cryonics and radical science. The woman who binds these two estranged men submits to the project with mixed emotions, as they all face challenges linking love, life and death.

UTA Independent Film Group will represent North American sales, with Heretic Films overseeing international sales.
