This isn't really news, but it does confirm what we suspected all along– in addition to theirCobalt Neural 9project, theWachowskishave another project set to start this summer calledCloud Atlas, an ambitious adaptation ofDavid Mitchell's acclaimed novel. It wasfirst revealedthat the Wachowskis were only writing and producing and that German filmmakerTom Tykwer(ofRun Lola Run, Perfume, The International) would be directing. However, since gaining a cast of Halle Berry, Natalie Portman and Tom Hanks, it looks like the Wachowskis willco-directsegments of the film with Tykwer, potentially like an anthology movie.
The confirmation was made by Natalie Portman in a recent interview withEntertainment WeeklythatThe Playlisthas quoted it online for our info."I don't know what's going on with financing,"Portman said."I read it while doing {The Wachowski produced}V for Vendettaand I gave it to the Wachowskis and to Tom Tykwer (he shot aParis Je Taimeshort with her around the time). Now they'redirecting it together, thethreeof them. I will have some acting role in it if it happens, but probably nothing major."Very intriguing indeed. So it seems like the Wachowskis are taking this on as an ambitious anthology-like epic adaptation.
David Mitchell'sCloud Atlasfeatures six main characters, and spans thousands of years and several genres. It's comprised of six separate but loosely related narratives that weave together history, science, suspense, humor and pathos. The book spans a variety of genres:"from Melvillean high-seas drama to California noir and dystopian fantasy."Late last year,Halle Berry was the first to mentionthat she wasprobablygoing to shootCloud Atlasthis summer with the Wachowskis and that it would"stretch ourbrains even further."This, to me, is the movie that I'm most looking forward to seeing the Wachowski siblings tackle next.You?
