It all looks rather confusing. I think of the first official image from the people behind the big-screen adaptation of David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas, bearing in mind that the film is a genre-hopping collection of six stories, with Tykwer directing one unit and the Wachowskis directing a second unit in parallel that each tackled three interconnected tales.
After all, The Matrix directors Andy and Lana Wachowski and Run, Lola Run director Tom Tykwer look satisfied that Cloud Atlas has finally wrapped principal photography at Studio Babelsberg in Berlin this week.
An ensemble cast of the ambitious sci-fi epic including Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent, Susan Sarandon, Hugh Grant, Hugo Weaving and Ben Whishaw.
Warner Bros. has acquired North American distribution rights to the film, which bows at the end of 2012.
