Matrix co-creator introduces new film as a woman

Lana, who first announced her transition from Larry nearly a decade ago, directed and wrote the movie with Tykwer and Andy based on David Mitchell's acclaimed novel.

Lana, 47, appears in pink dreadlocks and a grey dress to talk up the film in a video released by Warner Bros. that was posted on the movie's iTunes Movies Trailer page Thursday alongside the Cloud Atlas trailer.

Cloud Atlas weaves together six disparate story threads, which run from a South Pacific sea voyage during the 19th century to America in the 1970s to a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

VIDEO: Tom Hanks' 'Cloud Atlas' Trailer Lands Online

The movie, whose cast is featured in multiple roles, stars Tom Hanks, Hugh Grant, Halle Berry, Sandra Bullock and Susan Sarandon. It's set for an Oct. 26 release.

Poor soul.
I guess everyone's ones taste is in their mouth.

Regardless of taste. More power to her.

at the link is much better. But who cares? She is a film maker not a model, so why is her hairdo relevant?

Kinda looks like that singer of "Four Non-Blondes" the group that had that hit named "What's Goin' On".

And since it's set for an October release it sounds like a more thoughtful movie one would get than you do in the summer.

Based on what I had read I wasn't expecting at ALL what is revealed in the previews.

And very unique, which is something Hollywood has trouble doing these days.

The trailer made me want to take all my friends to see it, and movies rarely have that kind of impact on me. Trailers, even less so.
