They're the ones who made The Matrix trilogy, yes.
As well as V for Vendetta, which was awesome. These guys always bring something refreshing and talented to the table. The matrix trilogy gets a lot of shit, but I think people forget that the original is actually a classic and it's only the 2 sequels that were awful.

Yeah, that was my thought as well (knowing nothing about the books). Hopefully they'll be able to pull it all together, but I really wouldn't be surprised if it comes across as a convoluted mess.

Such was The Curious Case of Benjamin Button's fate.

What's everyone's problem with the last 2 Matrix films? I thought they were both better than the first. Probably too intellectual for a mainstream audience that were expecting a typical action flick.
This trailer looks awesome.
Check out "Shadow of the Eternals" on Kickstarter

SPEED RACER WAS AWESOME!

I watched it after hearing about it from a friend. I could be a fluke though, as I'm pretty sure it wasn't released in theaters here. As far as movies delivering what the title promises, that movie has to be right up there near the top
On topic, I haven't read the book but from the trailer it seems like the plot is close enough to The Fountain that it borders on ripping off. Although I really liked The Fountain, so there are worse movies to copy.

The book that Cloud Atlas is based on came out before The Fountain, as far as I know.
If it were not so, I would have told you.

You do realize Cloud Atlas novel came out two years before The Fountain came out?

I agree, I actually adore the Matrix sequels, I think they add so much to the story that people totally fail to realize.

Apparently there's some sort of scientific theory about the afterlife that's a main theme of the novel (and movie). But after looking into it, I didn't actually find a single piece of information on the internet. So maybe the theories gravitate too close to the mystic/paranormal side of science to actually appear anywhere on the internet.
Also, I wasn't able to find a copy of the novel in any bookstores near my residence in the U.S.. Apparently, the book hasn't gotten any publishers in the States yet, which seems very stupid considering there's already a movie being made out of the book. Typical commercialist bullsh&#, waiting until the movie gets hyped up in the U.S. to actually release the novel en masse.
Oh, get a job? Just get a job? Why don't I strap on my job helmet, squeeze down into a job cannon, and fire off into job land, where jobs grow on jobbies!

I am hoping that this film lives up the book, but I am cautious. Its as if each story in the book could be a movie itself, and the short run time worries me. The book is definitely worth a read though, and I am very surprised whenever I hear that someone didnt enjoy it or found it boring.

You are misinformed on both points. There is no scientific theory of the afterlife mentioned at all in the book, and there is no real mention of the characters in the different stories being reincarnations of one another. And I bought it in a US bookstore, so I imagine its not too hard to find.
