These guys always bring something refreshing and talented to the table. The matrix trilogy gets a lot of shit, but I think people forget that the original is actually a classic and it's only the 2 sequels that were awful. | ||

This is going to be one mindfuck of a film Yeah, that was my thought as well (knowing nothing about the books). Hopefully they'll be able to pull it all together, but I really wouldn't be surprised if it comes across as a convoluted mess. | ||

What's everyone's problem with the last 2 Matrix films? I thought they were both better than the first. Probably too intellectual for a mainstream audience that were expecting a typical action flick. This trailer looks awesome. | ||

The novel for the film won a Nebula. 12 USD for kindle. http://www.amazon.com/Cloud-Atlas-Novel-David-Mitchell/dp/0375507256/ I can't speak to it personally, but it's well reviewed. | ||

They have though made one bad movie, speed racer, which gives me the chills. SPEED RACER WAS AWESOME! | ||

I watched it after hearing about it from a friend. I could be a fluke though, as I'm pretty sure it wasn't released in theaters here. As far as movies delivering what the title promises, that movie has to be right up there near the top  On topic, I haven't read the book but from the trailer it seems like the plot is close enough to The Fountain that it borders on ripping off. Although I really liked The Fountain, so there are worse movies to copy. | ||

I agree, I actually adore the Matrix sequels, I think they add so much to the story that people totally fail to realize. | ||

Also, I wasn't able to find a copy of the novel in any bookstores near my residence in the U.S.. Apparently, the book hasn't gotten any publishers in the States yet, which seems very stupid considering there's already a movie being made out of the book. Typical commercialist bullsh&#, waiting until the movie gets hyped up in the U.S. to actually release the novel en masse. | ||

But after looking into it, I didn't actually find a single piece of information on the internet. So maybe the theories gravitate too close to the mystic/paranormal side of science to actually appear anywhere on the internet.

There is no scientific theory of the afterlife mentioned at all in the book, and there is no real mention of the characters in the different stories being reincarnations of one another. And I bought it in a US bookstore, so I imagine its not too hard to find. | ||

Didn't the Fountain already produced something analogous? But either way guys, go to Imdb.com, they have the trailer on the front page. | ||
