Spoilery new clip from 'Cloud Atlas'


I managed to plow my way through David Mitchell's super dense, complex novel Cloud Atlas awhile ago, so there's no spoiling any of the various twists and turns that are going to take place in Tom Tykwer and the Wachowski Starship's  film version. But there are plenty more who haven't read it, which is why I'm a little surprised that the studio allowed this very spoilerish clip to be released.

Without going to deep into it, the footage is only about a minute and a half long, and basically gives a brief glimpse into the many interlocking stories spanning time and space. There's a huge surprise that takes place at the end, so if you don't want to have it ruined it may be smart to move on. It's still a really cool sequence, poetically melding the fantastic cast with all of the various forms they'll take in the film. Again, check it out at your own risk.

Cloud Atlas stars Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Ben Whishaw, Bae Doona, Susan Sarandon, Jim Broadbent, Jim Sturgess, Hugh Grant, Hugo Weaving, and opens on October 26th....[BleedingCool]
