Andy and Lana Wachowski's adaptation of David Mitchell's time-spanning novel Cloud Atlas has been pretty low profile up until this point, but it jumped onto the radar for a bunch of us today with the release of a stunning five-minute-plus trailer.
Check out the trailer at Apple, where you can also find an introduction to the film from the oft-elusive Wachowskis and their co-director Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run).
For those who aren't familiar with the book (like me), that trailer could be confusing. But it's also awesome, and isn't the point of a trailer to get prospective viewers interested and asking questions about a film? The trend these days to give away everything in a film's marketing campaign is a troubling one, so it's nice to have some mystery going into Cloud Atlas. That said, if you need some answers, Film.com is running a nifty "Beginner's Guide to Cloud Atlas" today that can at least answer your most basic questions.
The film, which stars Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Sturgess, Jim Broadbent, Hugo Weaving, Hugh Grant, Ben Whishaw and many others, opens on October 26.
