"A new featurette from the Tom Hanks science-fantasy epic Cloud Atlas has been unveiled in a UK exclusive on Digital Spy. The video shows stars including Hanks, Hugh Grant, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent, Hugo Weaving, Ben Whishaw and Jim Sturgess talking about their experiences working on the movie, in addition to author David Mitchell.  The Matrix filmmakers Lana Wachowski and Andy Wachowski have teamed up with Run Lola Run&amp;#039;s Tom Tykwer to direct Cloud Atlas.  Hanks heads a cast of international stars in a tale which explores how the actions and consequences of individual lives impact one another throughout the past, the present and the future.  Action, mystery and romance weave dramatically through the story as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero and a single act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution in the distant future.  Susan Sarandon also appears in Cloud Atlas and recently said starring in the movie was akin to &amp;quot;being in a circus&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;It was a fun group - Tom Hanks, Halle Berry - they gave themselves over to the big ideas in the film,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;I was so tickled they brought me over to do a bunch of little parts. It was insane in the best way possible.&amp;quot; Whishaw also shed light on Cloud Atlas&amp;#039;s millennia-spanning stories in a September interview. &amp;quot;The six stories are plaited together from the start\u00E2\u20AC\u00A6 But it also means there&amp;#039;s this lovely kind of blending so that in a way it all becomes one story,&amp;quot; Whishaw teased. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a strange thing to describe, but when I read it I thought, &amp;#039;If they pull this off it could be really unique&amp;#039;, particularly because the actors keep popping up in different stories.&amp;quot; Cloud Atlas opens in the US on October 26, 2012 and in the UK on February 22, 2013.
