Tom Hanks Looking to Captain a Battleship in Another WWII Film, GREYHOUND
Tom Hanks’ latest film Sully hit theaters this last weekend and it’s another film that the actor shines in. The guy gives another incredible performance in the Clint Eastwood-directed movie, and now he’s ready to move on to a new project in which he will play another Captain.
The film is a WWII-set drama called Greyhound, and Hanks also wrote the script. He has attached Get Low director Aaron Schneider to direct the film. The news comes from Deadline, who offer the following details:
Now, this isn’t the prototypical hero Hanks wants to play. He’s a career officer finally given command of a Navy destroyer, who along with the enemy fights his self doubts and personal demons to prove he belongs. The title comes from the battleship.
Look, I’m a huge fan of Hanks and I’ll watch anything the guy makes. He's one hell of a talented actor and this next project of his seems like a great one for him to take on. It’ll be awhile before we get to watch it, but I’m looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
