Cloud Atlas (Wachowski's film)

The book is one of my favourites ever. It is a tremendous read, I would encourage everyone to check it out immediately (it can be difficult at the start but it is very much worth sticking with), I'm not sure how it will be translated onto the screen due to its structure. When I heard about a film being planned I envisaged Terence Malick being the perfect director for it, as the book carries the same sort of tone in novel form as his films do. He wouldn't be afraid of giving the story the time it deserves and to have the narrative play out through introspection, as it tends to in the novel.

I'm not a fan of the Wachowskis at all but I'll still watch out of interest.
