It's an adaptation of Robert A. Heinlein's "–All You Zombies–" Being as it's got nothing whatsoever to do with zombies except for one metaphorical comment at the very end, and given the current zombie movie craze, it had to be named something else lest some viewers come away peeved. "Predestination" is a pretty good pick, all considered.
Here's the trailer. U.S. release date is 9 Jan 15.
Seems to have been released internationally first, judging by the reviews at Rotten Tomatoes (running at 85% positive at present, BTW).
Also, here's the Wikipedia Page. No wait! Caution!!! Spoilers!!! Do not go there if you haven't read the story. Here's the original online for free! It's only about ten pages. Go. Read. Enlighten yourselves.
OK, you're back. Looking at the trailer, it looks pretty good. Of course, that's a trailer's job. If they stuck to the story it ought to be a classic. With the original so short, there's plenty of room for fleshing things out without wrecking the story line. We shall see.
I used to think that this short story wrapped up all of the time travel paradoxes into one neat ball, then along came Primer. At least we've got that to watch while we wait.
Wish though I had a time machine to jump forward to 9 January.
