Not that anyone would dare speak ill of Tom Hanks, but the actor’s anti-streaming stance looks to be getting weaker with each new project the two-time Academy Award winning legend signs on to.
Hanks itted his disappointment that World War II dramatic thriller Greyhound, a ion project that he also wrote, which is set to debut on Disney Plus.
In fact, his very next film is another streaming title, with Apple TV+ sci-fi but the financial implications of the pandemic saw them sell it off to Apple back in May. The first image from the movie has also been revealed, which you can check out below.
Hanks plays the title character, an inventor and one of humanity’s last survivors in the wake of a cataclysmic event. He lives in an underground bunker and builds an android to keep his dog company in the event of his death. However, the unlikely trio end up setting out on a perilous journey across the American West in discovery of what it means to be alive.
Caleb Landry-Jones voices the android, but Finch looks to be yet another showcase performance for Hanks, and that November bow puts it right in the thick of the awards season conversation. A post-apocalyptic sci-fi Western starring one of the all-time great actors, a dog and a robot sounds phenomenal, and now we know when we’ll get the chance to see it.
