Cloud Atlas, the thought-provoking sci-fi drama directed by Lana and Andy Wachowski (The Matrix Trilogy, Speed Racer) and Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run, Perfume: The Story of a Murder), opened this weekend to soft box office.
Because the Tom Hanks/Halle Berry epic looks intriguing and because the cost of Larry Wachowski’s gender reassignment surgery couldn’t have been cheap, Clatto would like to help boost ticket sales by pointing out that Korean actress Doona Bae goes topless as a clone in the futuristic city of Neo Seoul.
Bae is best known for her roles in internationally acclaimed Korean director Park Chan-wook’s revenge-thriller Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Bong Joon-ho’s creature-feature The Host, the highest grossing film to date in South Korea’s history.
Bae also starred as an inflatable-sex-doll-come-to-life in Japanese director Hirokazu Koreeda’s Air Doll, a big screen adaptation of Yoshiie Goda’s manga series “Kuuki Ningyo.” The role scored the 33-year-old a Best Actress Award at the 2010 Takasaki Film Festival in Japan.
That isn’t Doona Bae.
Gracais, Smurfy! Fixed.
