=== Lebbeus Woods lawsuit ===
In the beginning of the film, Cole is brought into an interrogation room and told to sit in a chair attached to a vertical rail on the wall. A spherical machine with screens of varying sizes showing close-ups of the faces of the scientists interrogating Cole, supported by a metal armature is suspended directly in front of him, probing for weaknesses as the inquisitors interrogate him.<ref name="ben" /> Architect [[Lebbeus Woods]] filed a lawsuit against Universal in February 1996, claiming that his work "Neomechanical Tower (Upper) Chamber" was used without permission. Woods won his lawsuit, requiring Universal to remove the scenes, but he ultimately allowed their inclusion in exchange for a "high six-figure cash settlement" from Universal.<ref name="ben">{{cite web |url=http://www.benedict.com/Visual/Monkeys/Monkeys.aspx |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070202102337/http://benedict.com/visual/Monkeys/Monkeys.aspx|archive-date=February 2, 2007|title=Copyright Casebook: 12 Monkeys – Universal Studios and Lebbeus Woods |work=Benedict.com |url-status=dead |access-date=2012-04-10}}</ref><ref>''[https://scholar.google.ca/scholar_case?case=15497279041078373388 Woods v.

=== Trilogy claims ===
After the release of ''[[The Zero Theorem]]'' in 2013, claims were made that Gilliam had meant it as part of a trilogy. A 2013 review for ''The Guardian'' said, "Calling it [''The Zero Theorem''] the third part of a trilogy formed by earlier dystopian satires ''[[Brazil (1985 film)|Brazil]]'' and ''Twelve Monkeys'' [''sic'']";<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/sep/02/terry-gilliam-zero-theorem-internet-breakdown-real-relationships|title=Terry Gilliam blames internet for the breakdown in 'real relationships'|last=Pulver|first=Andrew|work=[[The Guardian]]|date=September 2, 2013|access-date=September 7, 2013|archive-date=September 7, 2013|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130907164743/http://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/sep/02/terry-gilliam-zero-theorem-internet-breakdown-real-relationships|url-status=live}}</ref> but in an interview with Alex Suskind for ''Indiewire'' in late 2014, Gilliam said, "Well, it's funny, this trilogy was never something I ever said, but it's been repeated so often it's clearly true [laughs]. I don't know who started it but once it started it never stopped".<ref name="IWGint01">{{cite web|author1=Alex Suskind|title=Interview: Terry Gilliam On ''The Zero Theorem'', Avoiding Facebook, ''Don Quixote'' And His Upcoming Autobiography|url=http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/interview-terry-gilliam-on-the-zero-theorem-avoiding-facebook-don-quixote-and-his-upcoming-autobiography-20140917|website=IndieWire|access-date=March 4, 2015|date=2014-09-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150225234056/http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/interview-terry-gilliam-on-the-zero-theorem-avoiding-facebook-don-quixote-and-his-upcoming-autobiography-20140917|archive-date=February 25, 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref>
