MUMBAI: Integrated media and entertainment company PVR Limited is all set to bring adventure-drama multi-starrer ‘Cloud Atlas‘ to the big screen in India. The film stars Tom Hanks and Halle Berry in the lead along with Hugh Grant, Susan Sarandon, Jim Broadbent, Hugo Weaving, Jim Sturgess, Doona Bae, Ben Whishaw, James D‘Arcy, Zhou Xun, Keith David and David Gyasi.
The film is set for an October release in the US and India. Cloud Atlas is an adaptation of the eponymous 2004 novel by David Mitchell. The movie has been written and directed by Lana Wachowski and Andy Wachowski along with Tom Tykwer.
Cloud Atlas is a story of humankind in which the actions and consequences of everyone‘s lives impact one another throughout the past, present and future. This is exemplified in its caption ‘Everything is connected‘. The film shows how one soul is shaped, across lifetimes, from a murderer into a saviour and a single act of kindness ripples out for centuries to inspire a revolution. Each member of the ensemble appears in multiple roles as the story moves through time.
PVR Pictures president Kamal Gianchandani said, "Cloud Atlas boasts of a great ensemble cast consisting of Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugh Grant, Susan Sarandon, Hugo Weaving and many others which almost guarantees a great experience in itself. This is one of the most awaited Hollywood movies of this year and PVR is proud to be at the forefront in bringing great cinema, much like Cloud Atlas, from the world over to India. We are positive the Indian audience will appreciate this offering as they have done in the past."
