Cool First Look Featurette for Tom Hanks' New Sci-Fi Film FINCH
Apple TV+ has released a first look featurette for Tom Hanks’ upcoming sci-fi movie Finch. The promo offers a behind the scenes look at the making of the film and features Hanks offering details on the story that the film tells and the character that he plays. He offers some great insight, and there’s also some new footage from the film as well.
In the story, Hanks plays a robotics engineer named Finch who embarks on “a moving and powerful journey to find a new home for his unlikely family—his beloved dog and a newly created robot—in a dangerous and ravaged world.”
Finch looks like a delightful feel-good movie, and I’m looking forward to watching it. Here’s the full synopsis:
In "Finch," a man, a robot and a dog form an unlikely family in a powerful and moving adventure of one man's quest to ensure that his beloved canine companion will be cared for after he's gone. Hanks stars as Finch, a robotics engineer and one of the few survivors of a cataclysmic solar event that has left the world a wasteland. But Finch, who has been living in an underground bunker for a decade, has built a world of his own that he shares with his dog, Goodyear. He creates a robot, played by Jones, to watch over Goodyear when he no longer can.
As the trio embarks on a perilous journey into a desolate American West, Finch strives to show his creation, who names himself Jeff, the joy and wonder of what it means to be alive. Their road trip is paved with both challenges and humor, as it's as difficult for Finch to goad Jeff and Goodyear to get along as it is for him to manage the dangers of the new world.
Finch was directed by Miguel Sapochnik (Game of Thrones, True Detective), and it was produced by Hanks’ frequent collaborator Robert Zemeckis. The script for the film comes from Ivor Powell and Craig Luck, who has made his feature-film writing debut with this project.
The rest of the cast includes Caleb Landry Jones voices the robot. The movie will stream exclusively on Apple TV+ on November 5, 2021.
