Ok, I'm intrigued. Good cast list. Unique plots are always a draw for me too. I wasn't able to determine the main idea of the story from the trailer because the trailer covers quite a bit.

Does this movie move from the 1800s to the 2200s over its course with the same people in their "next life"?

Oh my god o__O;; huh. I've never read the book before nor have I ever heard about this movie, but based on the trailer, it seems interesting enough for me to learn more about the movie. Based off the taglines and all, it feels a lot like The Adjustment Bureau, but I'm most likely mistaken.. mm. :D I'll definitely keep an eye out for this.

really hated the book, I can see why they made it into a film though, literally parts of the book screamed "make this into a movie pleeeasssseeee, look at all the sexy locations . . ." the "meaning" of the book was so tenuous and unoriginal also, should have made a film of Gravity's Rainbow instead and had Tom Hanks play the octopus

Oh, awesome. I bought this book a few months ago and somehow it never made it into my queue of books to read. Off to the bookshelf! The Matrix guys and the Lola Rennt guy? This is me being excited.

I read the book when it came out, and it was fantastic. I'm glad that an adaptation is being made, although it'll be pretty tough to capture everything in 1 motion picture. The cast list looks pretty good, but we never know what we're going to get from the Wachowskis. I hope the quality of the original material is enough to save it from not sucking.

the Wachowski siblings are awesome with matrix and v for vendetta under their belt which has inspired youth both positively and negatively so i must see this new movie. They have though made one bad movie, speed racer, which gives me the chills.

As a whole, the Matrix trilogy was terrible. I mean, the first movie had it's merits but they should have stopped there. V for Vendetta was pretty decent I guess (they didn't direct that one tho). This everything is connected stuff rings sort of familiar but we'll see if they manage to do something semi-revolutionary in film once more.

The original Matrix was amazing, I don't know where you get off merely saying "It had it's merits." :p

Anyway, I'm pumped as hell for this, that cast is amazing.
