Since finding out that when shooting Cloud Atlas both Halle Berry and Tom Hanks left the film studio's in L.A. to practice their dialects in Germany...
I have learned that in fact its a German film. I mean, it's not the most intuitive thing-,...to think a British author novel and Warner Bros distributed film would be initially taken to the screen first by a European country.
Apparently, according to this article, the German production studio had to fend of the famous Dreamworks studio with a stick in order to secure the rights to produce David Mitchells novel.
"" An intense three-hour mental workout rewarded with a big emotional payoff, "Cloud Atlas" suggests that all human experience is connected in the pursuit of freedom, art and love.""
