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.
Directors: Tom Tykwer | Andy Wachowski | Lana Wachowski
Stars: Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugh Grant, Hugo Weaving
THE BUZZ: Hugh Grant plays a killer, Susan Sarandon plays a man, and Tom Hanks makes his most engaging starring-role choice in years in the new project from the Wachowski Starship, collaboration with co-director Tom Twyker and an adaptation of David Mitchell's celebrated science-fiction novel that (pardon if we sound obvious and/or naive) sounds like the literary offspring of Ray Bradbury and Samuel Delany. Reincarnation is a main thread, and we're stoked for the visuals and nervous about narrative cohesion or lack thereof. In a year where Prometheus proved that a film can be a spectacle, an epic, and somewhat of a letdown all at once, the Wachowskis and company have tricky territory to navigate if they want both box office and critical success -- and there better not be any shenanigans (or dance-rave numbers) a la The Matrix Revolutions.
