"Cloud Atlas" Extended Trailer
This is the first footage from Lana and Andy Wachowski (creators of The Matrix) and Tom Tykwer’s (Run Lola Run) Cloud Atlas has premiered online. The preview alone is a massive undertaking, as it encapsulates the filmmakers’ kaleidoscopic statement about human existence in a mystifying (some might say confounding) manner. But how can you expect anything less from the combined creative force of Tykwer and the Wachowskis!
David Mitchell’s source novel (and its film adaptation) introduces a sickened clerk (Ben Whishaw) on a Polynesian sea voyage in the 19th century, scribbling his experiences down for the sake of posterity. It jumps ahead in time to the 1930s, where an aspiring composer (also Whishaw) discovers the clerk’s journal – while living alongside a deteriorating master composer (Jim Broadbent), who recognizes the tune his pupil plays... from his dreams.
The result will no doubt be an intense film experience that displays an exploration of how the actions of individual lives impact one another in the past, present and future, as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero, and an act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution.

Delving into Terry Gilliam's Personal Archive
The best find on the internet this week is this little gem; a blog dedicated to showing of Terry Gilliam's personal stash of movie memorabilia and production work, in the words of the blogger (and Terry's daughter):
In October 2011 I took on the mammoth task of organizing my father's archive - all his work from pre-Python days, as a cartoonist, photojournalist & assistant editor for Help! magazine, through all his original artwork and cut-outs for Python animation, posters, logos and generally everything Python, to his storyboards, designs and sketches for his feature films and other non-film related projects (including his opera of "Faust" and that infamous Nike commercial). Why!? Because I have been lucky enough to be surrounded by my father's amazing work all my life and I think it should be seen by everyone so I am organizing the archive so it can eventually be put in a book and an exhibition. Along the (dusty) way I have uncovered absolute gems. I have set up this blog to share my journey and some of the "gems" I find along the way... Enjoy.
