Cloud Atlas is a really very brilliant novel by a guy called David Mitchell (no, not the actor, another one).
It was released in 2004, and some clever sorts of people are now making it into a big Hollywood film, with Ben Whishaw, Jim Broadbent, Hugo Weaving, Susan Sarandon, Jim Sturgess and Hugh Grant, and some other people *breathes*.
We are especially keen to see how this pans out, as Cloud Atlas is about six stories, that span over many centuries, so it sounds fairly difficult to string together as a film. But, y'know, also, it looks amazing.
Fingers crossed.
