First Look: Cloud Atlas Trailer

A 5 minute long trailer has been released for Warner Bros Pictures’ Cloud Atlas, the epic drama directed by Lana & Andy Wachowski and Tom Tykwer (Perfume). Based on the bestselling book by David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas stars Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Sturgess, Hugo Weaving, Ben Whishaw, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Grant, James D’Arcy, and Susan Sarandon.

The Plot:

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.

Warner Bros is planning an October 26, 2012 release of Cloud Atlas.
