Mr. Nobody
It was originally written IN ENGLISH by a Belgian (Jaco van Dormael), who conceived it in a dream he had, in the English language. It centers around the many possibilities one life can take...It is all a matter of the choices we decide to act upon.
Belgian director Jaco Van Dormael began seeking to film Mr. Nobody in 2001, an attempt that lasted six years before the director was able to make his English-language feature debut in 2007.[4] Van Dormael's project differed from other Belgian productions in being filmed in English instead of in one of Belgium's main languages. The director explained, "The story came to me in English. It's a story set over very long distances and time frames. One of the strands of the plot is about a kid who must choose between living with his mother in Canada or his father in England. There are also some incredible English-speaking actors I wanted to work with."[7] Mr. Nobody is Dormael's first feature film since the Belgian film Le huitième jour (The Eighth Day) in 1996.[4] Dormael began preparing production of Mr. Nobody in February 2007....
Production took place throughout 2007, lasting 120 days and filming in Belgium, Germany, and Canada. Scenes were filmed on location in Montreal, Canada and at Babelsberg Studios in Berlin, Germany.[2] The three lives that Nemo Nobody experiences were separated by color coding and musical cues. Each life's design was also based on the work of British photographer Martin Parr.[3]
While producing the film, van Dormael took the unique step of publishing his screenplay.[3] The director described the scale of the film, "My producers don't like me saying it, but it's really a big-budget experimental film about the many different lives one person can live, depending on the choices he makes. It's about the infinite possibilities facing any person. There are good or bad choices in life. It's simply that each choice will create another life for you. What's interesting is to be alive."[2][3] Mr.Nobody was out in cinemas in France and Belgium on the 13th of January, 2010.

- Jared Leto plays Nemo Nobody, a 117-year-old mortal. [4] Leto described his character, "It's an internal journey. I actually play 12 different versions of one life. There are 12 different characters. Some you only see for one scene. One of the characters, you just see in the background."[2]
Premise
In the year 2092, a time when Mars is a vacation spot, Nemo Nobody is a 117-year-old man who is the last mortal among humans who have become immortal due to scientific advances involving the perpetual rejuvenation of telomeres.[2] When Nemo is on his deathbed, he reviews the three possible existences and marriages he might have experienced.[3] References to the big bang theory, the nature of time, superstring theory, memory, help structure the plot.
Cast
| A telomere is a region of repetitive DNA at the ends of chromosomes, which protects the end of the chromosome from destruction. Its name is derived from the Greek nouns telos (τἐλος) "end" and merοs (μέρος, root: μερεσ-) "part". A Russian theorist Alexei Olovnikov was the first to recognize (1971) the problem of how chromosomes could replicate right to the tip, as such was impossible with... Read enhanced Wikipedia article |
T-loop deletion factor shortens the telomeres up to 300bp on each 3' overhang, which unique discovery was made in the UK original research, by the British author Will Vladimir Stoyanov. T-loop deletion factor is active just before each formation of t-loops, as t-loops formation requires about 300bp 3' overhangs, otherwise t-loops do not form or form abnormally.
Telomere
A telomere is a region of repetitive DNA at the end of a chromosome, which protects the end of the chromosome from deterioration. ... Lengthening telomeres
Hayflick limit
The Hayflick limit is the number of times a normal cell population will divide before it stops, presumably because the telomeres reach a critical length.
