Korean actress Bae Doo-na has been cast in the Hollywood movie “Cloud Atlas,” which will be produced by the Wachowski brothers, Larry and Andrew.

Bae will play the role of a genetically engineered clone who rebels against a capitalist, totalitarian society in 2144 in Seoul. The Wachowskis reportedly thought of Bae for the role after watching the 2009 Japanese film “Air Doll,” in which the actress stars as an inflatable doll that falls in love.

“Cloud Atlas” is based on the eponymous novel and comprises six stories from various times and places. The Wachowskis will collaborate with writer Tom Tykwer, best known for directing “Run Lola Run,” to make the film. Tom Hanks, Hugh Grant and Halle Berry make up an all-star cast.

capitalist, totalitarian...someone explain this to me
but good for her

[fabledlamb.livejournal.com]

Congrats! Her storyline is one of the most impressive of the whole book imo, I think it has the potential to be even better on screen than on paper. They'll start shooting the movie here in Berlin later this month. I just hope they don't butcher the book too much because it's one of the best things ever written in the history of humanity, I'm not even exaggerating... XD

[initialc.livejournal.com]

I just posted this!

[yukahoo.livejournal.com]

That was my first thought as well.

Are the Wachowski brothers, still brothers? Wasn't one transgender now?

[prlsb4swiine.livejournal.com]

but... I actually really disliked Run Lola Run...

[baboboy.livejournal.com]

[finchburg.livejournal.com]

Yes and she was also the archer in The Host!

[spread.livejournal.com]

I love she.

[royalantares.livejournal.com]

Now I know they they call themselves the Wachowski brothers. Larry and Andrew Wachowski just doesn't have the same ring to it.

[gumiho.livejournal.com]

excited for this!!

[hanzan.livejournal.com]

She was amazing in Linda Linda Linda as well, very excited to see her test the US waters!

[keyllastic.livejournal.com]

Sounds really rad (although Tom Hanks is a bit of a turnoff)!
