The upcoming big screen adaptation of David Mitchell's sprawling, time hopping novel Cloud Atlas has been much in the news over the last year thanks to its high profile cast, directing team and the unusual manner of its creation. The picture is being shot simultaneously by two separate film crews - one directed by Tom Tykwer, the other by the Wachowskis - with cast members each playing multiple characters in multiple time periods.With production now up and running the first on set shots have begun popping up but none have included any real looks at the sets or character designs, which makes this new bit of concept art rather intriguing.
A pair of images have turned up online along with a first still of Korean star Bae Doona - you can see that here but it's just a close up shot of her face looking pretty much like it always does - one of which is clearly labelled as concept art of Seoul in the year 2144. Not that there was ever much doubt on the matter but this makes it abundantly clear which time period the Wachowskis are directing.

Always good to hear Bae Doona will be back on the big screen.
I read she is, or was, also working on a Table Tennis movie called "Korea", scheduled for 2011, but imdb doesn't seem to mention it... and googling "Korea" doesn't quite do the trick either :p
by the way, Todd, I think you forgot a punctuation mark in the second paragraph, right after pretty :
"a close up shot of her face looking pretty, (much) like it always does"

Intriguing. Between this and Prometheus hopefully 2012 will be a good year for sci-fi.
