Based on the book by David Mitchell--the tome consists of six nested stories that take the reader from the remote South Pacific in the nineteenth century to a distant, post-apocalyptic future. Each tale is revealed to be a story that is read (or watched) by the main character in the next. All stories but the last one get interrupted at some point, and after the sixth story concludes at the center of the book, the novel "goes back" in time, "closing" each story as the book progresses in terms of pages but regresses in terms of the historical period in which the action takes place.
Doona will play 'Sonmi 450', a genetic clone diner waitress about to be executed for rebelling against a society driven by pure capitalism.
Tom Hanks Halle Berry Hugo Weaving (who will play six parts in the ambitious pic), Ben Whishaw, Susan Sarandon and Jim Broadbent also star.
The adaptation will be written and co-directed by The Wachowski's Lana and Andy and Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run).
Grant Hill and Stefan Arndt are producing the film and shooting aims to begin in September in Berlin for a October 12 2012 bow
