Ben Whishaw has described Cloud Atlas as a 'massive experiment'.
The British actor is set to join an ensemble cast of Thom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving, Susan Sarandon and Hugh Grant as David Mitchell's novel is adapted for the big screen.
Whishaw will play Robert Frobisher in the movie and he has hinted as to what we can expect from the film.
Speaking to Empire the actor said: "It's sort of a massive experiment. It's an egoless chamber piece."
"The six stories are plaited together from the start. But it also means there's this lovely kind of blending so that in a way it all becomes one story.
"It's a strange thing to describe, but when I read it I thought, 'If they pull this off it could be really unique', particularly because the actors keep popping up in different stories."
But before we see Whishaw in Cloud Atlas he is going to be taking over the role of Q in new Bond movie Skyfall.
It will be the first time that he has appeared in the franchise as he teams up with Daniel Craig - who is taking on the role of 007 for the third time.
Cloud Atlas is released 22nd March.
