Halle Berry & Natalie Portman: 'Cloud Atlas' Stars!

Halle Berry is gearing up for Cloud Atlas, a new project from the Wachowskis!

“They did The Matrix - they have another really amazing idea that’s going to stretch our brains even further,” Halle said at a recent NAACP Image Awards screening. “I’m really excited about that – that’s probably going to be in the summer.”

The 44-year-old actress would team up with attached actors Natalie Portman and Tom Hanks for the project – the Wachowskis know Nat from their work together on V for Vendetta!

Cloud Atlas is based on a book by the same name, which features stories spanning centuries and leading into the post apocalyptic future.
