- CLOUD ATLAS
 |
| Hugh Grant |
Hugh Grant has signed to star in Andy and Lana Wachowski and
Tom Tywker's Cloud Atlas, reports Screen Daily.
Based on the book by David Mitchell, the film will shoot in
Scotland, Spain and Germany starting September 16.
Grant joins a cast that includes Tom Hanks, Halle Berry,
Hugo Weaving, Ben Whishaw, Susan Sarandon, Jim Broadbent and Bae Doona.
Mitchell's novel is described as follows:
"A reluctant voyager crossing the Pacific in 1850; a
disinherited composer blagging a precarious livelihood in between-the-wars
Belgium; a high-minded journalist in Governor Reagan's California; a vanity
publisher fleeing his gangland creditors; a genetically modified "dinery
server" on death-row; and Zachry, a young Pacific Islander witnessing the
nightfall of science and civilisation -- the narrators of Cloud Atlas hear each
other's echoes down the corridor of history, and their destinies are changed in
ways great and small."
Weaving and Whishaw previously said that the entire cast
will be playing multiple roles, including both male and female parts.
