The official story of the world’s most beloved and scorned cephalopod, whose remarkable string of eight correct “predictions” during the 2010 World Cup made him a superstar. Whether Paul is an honest-to-goodness 21st century oracle, or a tentacled sham, remains a hotly debated topic. What is certain though is that Paul’s unmatched string of correct predictions has affected us, made us dream, and impacted popular culture. This is a biopic of tentacular proportions–one that explores celebrity mania at its most outrageous, the science of probabilities, and the possibility of higher powers. By the director of The People vs George Lucas, IndieFest 2010.
