2 New Trailers for Steven Spielberg's Cold War Thriller BRIDGE OF SPIES
We've only got a few more weeks before a new Steven Spielberg movie hit's theaters! As a long time fan of the director, I couldn't be more excited. He has once again teamed up with Tom Hanks, and together they've made an incredible-looking cold war spy thriller called Bridge of Spies.
The movie is based on a true story that is set against the backdrop of a series of historic events. It follows James Donovan, "a Brooklyn lawyer who finds himself thrust into the center of the Cold War when the CIA sends him on the near-impossible task to negotiate the release of a captured American U-2 pilot."
In an interview with EW, Spielberg talks about the man that Hanks potrays in the movie:
“I think the character that Tom Hanks plays, James B. Donovan, he was what you would call the Standing Man. The stand-up kind of guy who stands up for what he believes in to be a universal truth, which is basically justice for all – regardless of what side of the Iron Curtain you are on. He was only interested in the letter of the law.”
The script for the film was written by Matt Charman, Ethan Coen, and Joel Coen and they capture "the essence of a man who risked everything and vividly brings his personal journey to life." Bridge of Spies will be released on October 16th.
