Tom Hanks will star in Cloud Atlas, an upcoming Focus Features adaptation of David Mitchell's 2004 book about six interconnected stories with settings ranging from the 19th century South Pacific to the post-apocalyptic future. Matrix directors Andy and Lana Wachowski and Run Lola Run director Tom Tykwer will helm and co-write the movie. Honestly, Hanx; another post-apocalyptic movie? Punchline was quite enough. [Deadline]
