Based on David Mitchell’s 2004 book of the same title, Cloud Atlas polarized critics. Some claimed it was one of the best movies they had ever seen, while others said it was nonsensical and overwhelming.
Regardless of the message, one truly amazing fact about Cloud Atlas is just how expensive it was!
The movie ended up being $102 million! Now this doesn’t sound too expensive when compared to some huge movies like Harry Potter, but you have to remember big blockbusters are financed by huge film corporations.
Cloud Atlas was financed completely independently, meaning from independent donors! Several German companies contributed donations, in addition to $20 million from the German government!
The Wachowskis, who previously created the Matrix, put the whole thing together, and even contributed their own money!
Just to put that into relative terms, Paranormal Activity was originally an independent movie and cost around $15,000! A far cry from the $102 million for Cloud Atlas!
