NP - Cloud Atlas Trailer

[Ian Livingston]

The Wachowskis do visually interesting work pretty steadily. Like Laura, I
think the strong thread business is the screenwriters' interpolation, but
then, the old movies v. books conflict is inevitable whenever Hollywood
scams a title. It's interesting that Mitchell appears in a cameo. Guess he
endorses it?

"Less than any man have I  excuse for prejudice; and I feel for all creeds
the warm sympathy of one who has come to learn that even the trust in
reason is a precarious faith, and that we are all fragments of darkness
groping for the sun. I know no more about the ultimates than the simplest
urchin in the streets." -- Will Durant
