Six Degrees Of Hugo Weaving

Hugo Weaving talked to The Herald Sun about Andy Lana Wachowski and Tom Tykwer's adaptation of  "Cloud Atlas".



"That’s a project that’s really exciting because all the actors will be playing more than one role. I actually have six characters in the same film and they are all different people in six different stories".

Based on the book by David Mitchell the story follows six storylines which range from a unwilling voyager crossing the Pacific in 1850; a bisexual composer blagging a precarious livelihood in between-the-wars Belgium; a high-minded female journalist in Governor Reagan’s California; a vanity publisher fleeing his criminal world creditors; a genetically modified “dinery server” on death-row in a futuristic cacotopia (often featured by cyberpunk) ; and Zachry, a young Pacific Islander witnessing the dusk of science and civilization.

Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent and Susan Sarandon co star.
