Zach Beauchamp writes very articulately about the challenges the Wachowskis face in putting the book to film on Think Progress: <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/alyssa/2012/09/06/808361/can-cloud-atlas-put-the-human-in-the-machine/" rel="nofollow">http://thinkprogress.org/alyssa/2012/09/06/808361/can-cloud-atlas-put-the-human-in-the-machine/</a><br /><br />I think that regardless of if the film is a success or not, it's going to be something different. IMO, ambitious failures are always more interesting than bland adaptations.gibsonmeigshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094122509371844728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217670599100952035.post-80204315729723531452012-09-08T20:01:57.028-04:002012-09-08T20:01:57.028-04:00There's an article on the making of the movie ...There's an article on the making of the movie in this week's New Yorker.

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."<br /><br />Oh, well.
