The plot of the books is described as "the epic history of mankind, in which the consequences of our lives affect the past, present and future. The murderer's soul is transformed into the Savior, and a good deed through the century inspires a revolutionary uprising. "
The upcoming fantastic film will tell about six reincarnations of the same soul, two of which occur in the future. "Cloud Atlas" is similar to a mirror maze, in which they echoes, layering at each other, six votes: the notary of the mid-nineteenth century, returning to the United States from Australia; a young composer forced to trade with soul and body in Europe between world wars; journalist in California of the 1970s, revealing corporate conspiracy; a small publisher - our contemporary, managed to rip the bank on the gangster autobiography "Kestet's Blow" and the lenders running; Clone-servants from the enterprise of fast food in Korea - the country of the winning cyberpunk; and the Hawaiian Kalopasa at sunset civilization.
The shooting of the film will begin at the end of this month under the leadership of the creators of the "matrix" of Lana and Andy Vachovski, as well as Toma Tykver ("Run, Lola, Run").
Recall that earlier Hugh Grant confirmed his participation in the third part of the romantic comedy "Bridget Jones Diary".
