Composed by Tykwer and the Wachowskis from the conceptual fantasy novel Cloud Atlas by British author David Mitchell, the plot of Cloud Atlas recounts over 500 years of six interconnected destinies through writings that blur the line between fiction and reality, but together form the tale of humanity’s decline.

A star-studded cast has been put together for the ensemble film, including Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Susan Sarandon, Hugo Weaving, British actors Jim Broadbent, Hugh Grant, Jim Sturgess, James D’Arcy and Ben Whishaw (who played the Frog in Perfume and starred in the Tykwer’s The International, made three years after the adaptation of Süskind’s bestseller).
