Reviews for Cloud Atlas, the ambitious new project from The Wachowski Siblings and Tom Tykwer, have been a tad mixed. Some have hailed the film as a “grand spectacle” and “tremendous,” while others have called it a “giant folly” and a “disaster.” Our own David Baldwin referred to it as “ambitious” and “beautiful,” “but an absolute pain to analyze and admire” in his review.
With the release of the film only about a month away, Warner Bros. has stepped up the marketing for the film. Today, thanks to The Film Stage, we have seven new banners and two new TV spots that do a great job of showing off the film’s epicness, as well as giving us a good look at the multiple time periods the film covers.
This new material also comes with the news that the film will be receiving an IMAX release, featuring a digitally-remastered version of the film.
I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again. I can’t wait to see how this turns out. I have a thing for epics, and this looks like the most epic film to hit screens since Lord of the Rings. With this and The Hobbit coming up, among other amazing-looking projects, it looks like the remainder of 2012 is shaping up to be a great time at the cinema.
Cloud Atlas finally hits theaters on October 26th.
Check out the banners and TV spots below and let us know what you think in the comments.
