Cloud Atlas looks risky, probably crazy and just too out there to be angling for the big awards. Then you look at the cast – Tom Hanks, Susan Sarandon, Hugh Grant, Halle Berry and Jim Broadbent, to name a few, that is what I call star power, awards power. I’m curious to see what the Wachowski brothers (The Matrix Trilogy) and Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run) have up their sleeves.
Official Plot Synopsis: Cloud Atlas explores how the actions and consequences of individual lives impact one another throughout the past, the present and the future. Action, mystery and romance weave dramatically through the story as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero and a single act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution in the distant future. Each member of the ensemble appears in multiple roles as the stories move through time.
Cloud Atlas US release date – 10/26/2012
