PVR Limited, one of India’s leading
integrated media & entertainment players with a significant presence in
film entertainment (film exhibition, distribution and production) is all set to
bring the epic adventure-drama ‘Cloud Atlas’ to the big screen in India. Cloud
Atlas is a multi-genre, multi-starrer film with award winning actors Tom Hanks
and Halle Berry in the lead. Also starring in the movie are Hugh Grant, Susan
Sarandon, Jim Broadbent, Hugo Weaving, Jim Sturgess, Doona Bae, Ben Whishaw,
James D'Arcy, Zhou Xun, Keith David and David Gyasi. Cloud Atlas releases in
India and the U. S. in October 2012.
Cloud Atlas is an adaptation of the eponymous
2004 novel that was written by David Mitchell. The movie has been written and directed
by the renowned The Wachowskis - Lana Wachowski and Andy Wachowski (Matrix
trilogy) along with Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run). 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. Staying true to 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.
Speaking on bringing Cloud Atlas to India, Kamal
Gianchandani, President, PVR Pictures 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.”
Cloud Atlas will also be shown at the
prestigious Toronto Film Festival which is set to commence next week.
