If you weren’t sure about Cloud Atlas, not heard much about it, well watch this from Digital Spy… and…
Tom Hanks has claimed that his new film Cloud Atlas is as complex as Christopher Nolan’s The Castaway star explained that the multi-thread plot of both films challenges the audience.
“There are going to be people out there who are going to say, ‘Who do they think they are to make this movie like this?'” he told The Belfast Telegraph.
“That’s been the case with every great film. I think every audience is yearning to be surprised. I am bored when I walk into the theatre expecting A, B and C, and a movie delivers A, B and C.
“I want to see something brand new that I never anticipated coming a hundred million miles away,” he continued, “And my God, that happens before the words ‘Cloud Atlas’ appear up on the screen on this one.”
Speaking to the Chicago Sun-Times, Hanks added: “I loved that it wasn’t going to be simple for audiences.
“Lord, doesn’t that sound beautiful? A film that is original, creative and makes you think. That’s what movies used to be.
“I think it’s as risky as Inception,” he concluded.
“Inception was a complete one-off. You saw it the first time and said, ‘How many movies are in this thing?'”
Although I wouldn’t say it was quite as epic as inception, its certainly not far off. This is why I said on Salford Cinema Club’s micro blog… I will be going to watch Cloud Atlas at the Odeon Manchester Cinema.
If you are also interested in watching this master piece of storytelling and film, give me a shout on twitter or something… Thinking about the 8:20pm showing?
