Tom Hanks heads West in the trailer for Paul Greengrass’ News of the World

News of the World is a new Western co-written and directed by Paul Greengrass (Captain Phillips) and based on the 2016 novel of the same name by Paulette Jiles. It see him team up with Tom Hanks once again.

A widowed Civil War veteran agrees to deliver a girl, taken by the Kiowa people years ago, to her aunt and uncle, against her will. They travel hundreds of miles and face grave dangers as they search for a place that either can call home.

The film stars Tom Hanks, Helena Zengel, Michael Covino, Fred Hechinger, Neil Sandilands, Thomas Francis Murphy, Elizabeth Marvel, Mare Winningham and Chukwudi Iwuji.

I think the only other time that Tom Hanks played a cowboy was in the Toy Story movies!

It is scheduled to be released on December 25, 2020, by Universal Pictures.
