Tom Hanks's WWII Battleship Movie GREYHOUND Will Now Premiere on Apple TV+
In a surprise move, Tom Hanks’s World War II battleship action drama Greyhound will not be released in theaters. Instead, it will premiere on Apple TV+.
I won’t lie, I’m kinda bummed out by this as this is a movie that I really wanted to see on the big screen. Damn this coronavirus! Damn it to hell! I seriously hate watching movies at home. Greyhound was originally supposed to be released in theaters this year on Father’s Day weekend. Apple has not set a premiere date for the movie yet.
Greyhound is an adaptation of the novel The Good Shepherd by C.S. Forester. It’s a World War II-set drama that follows a Navy officer who finally gets to command a destroyer, but has to get on top of his personal doubts and demons as he does so. Here’s the synopsis that was shared:
In the early days of WWII, an international convoy of 37 Allied ships, led by captain Ernest Krause (Hanks) in his first command of a U.S. destroyer, crosses the treacherous North Atlantic while hotly pursued by wolf packs of Nazi U-boats.
The movie also stars Stephen Graham (Snatch, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Rocketman), Rob Morgan (Mudbound, Stranger Things, Daredevil), and Elisabeth Shue (Leaving Las Vegas, The Boys, Death Wish).
The film is directed by Aaron Schneider (Two Soldiers, Get Low) and is produced by Gary Goetzman (Olive Kitteridge, Game Change, The Pacific). Here’s the previously released trailer for the film.
