First TV Spot for The Wachowskis’ & Tom Twyker’s CLOUD ATLAS
Warner Bros. has released the first TV spot for The Wachowskis’ and Tom Tykwer’s CLOUD ATLAS featuring new footage and critical praise. I was fortunate enough to see it at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival (review here) and it completely blew me away. I don’t envy the person(s) responsible for putting together this 30 second TV spot to sell the film since it was hard enough for the filmmakers to tell the entire story in less than three hours, but I think it’s well done and hints at how ambitious this film really is. I thought Cloud Atlas was an absolute feat in both storytelling and filmmaking and I can’t wait to see it again in theaters next month.
Based on David Mitchell’s critically acclaimed novel of the same name, Cloud Atlas explores how the actions and consequences of individual lives impact one another throughout the past, the present and the future. The film stars Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugh Grant, Jim Broadbent, Hugo Weaving, Jim Sturgess, Doona Bae, Ben Whishaw, James D’Arcy, Xun Zhou, Keith David, and David Gyasi. Cloud Atlas hits theaters on October 26th.
