## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

The screeching beak of the Zardoz stonehead cuts a scar through the poisoned sky.

A masked gunslinger steps from its belly into a land where the long-lived lounge amid floating gardens, their minds stuffed with forgotten art and empty orgies.

John Boorman’s rainbow-knotted fable grinds myth into bones and bullets.

**Mood tags**: cerebral, sexy, surreal
