Hugh Grants Joins Wachowskis' Next Sci-Fi Film!

This is an interesting addition to an already AWESOME team…minus Natalie Portman.

Matrix directors The Wachowskis have assembled a fantastic crew for their upcoming film Cloud Atlas, which is based on David Mitchell's novel about a series of characters that find their destinies intertwined over thousands of years.

They've brought on Run Lola Run director Tom Tykwer to work alongside them, AND they've attached some big name actors including Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, and Susan Sarandon.

Now, Hugh Grant has JUST joined the cast of the epic sci-fi film, which will begin filming THIS week!

Good luck, Hugh and crew! We have a feeling this one is going to be great!!!!!
