'Cloud Atlas' Theatrical Trailer Sep 6th 2012, 14:34 Anyone who’s really eager to see the Andy and Lana Wachowski and Tom Tykwer‘s Cloud Atlas has likely already pored over that six-minute trailer released over the summer, but for the rest of the moviegoing public there’s now a more traditional two-minute theatrical version. Whichever camp you fall into, the new cut is worth checking out, as there’s a bit of fresh footage to be found here. Based on David Mitchell‘s acclaimed novel, Cloud Atlas weaves together six tangentially related stories that traverse time and space. Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving, Ben Whishaw, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Grant, Susan Sarandon, and Bae Doona star, each playing a number of different characters across the different plotlines.

[via First Showing] The shorter version doesn’t feel quite as epic as that extended first look did, and the transition into the film’s more sci-fi- and action-oriented aspects feels more jarring. But that’s all to be expected considering it’s about a third as long. Even so, it does a great job capturing the staggering scope and ambition of this project, without sacrificing its emotional pull. The themes of connectivity and reincarnation could come across as trite in the wrong hands, but here it looks convincingly moving.
