Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell will be released as a movie in 2012

Hey,

Just found out that Cloud Atlasis being made into a movie to be released late 2012. Add this one to your to read list as it is a pretty good book and it will either be an epic or an epic flop. Tom Hanks and Halle Berry will star.

David Mitchell wrote one of my all time favorites, The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet. I did not like Cloud Atlas as much, but it will be very interesting to see how they handle in on the big screen.

Did you see my post on the Opinionless Facebook page today? It was an article about the strange way in which the Wachoski siblings (Larry is now Lana!) got funding for the project. Here's the link if you're interested:

Yes, I saw that article - makes you want to see the movie even if you have never read the book. I am really enjoying your blog.
