Tom Hanks is set to return in new film A Hologram For The King and the film has been given a May 20th release date.
A Hologram For The King
A Hologram For The King is an adaptation of the best-selling novel by Dave Eggers and will see Hanks team up with filmmaker Tom Tykwer.
This is the first feature film for Tykwer since he teamed up with Andy and Lana Wachowski for Cloud Atlas. As well as being in the director's chair, Tykwer has also penned the film's screenplay.
A Hologram For The King will also see the filmmaker reunite with Oscar-winning Hanks, who starred in the adaptation of Cloud Atlas back in 2013.
A great cast has been assembled for the film as Hanks stars alongside Ben Whishaw - who also starred in Cloud Atlas - Tom Skerritt, Sarita Choudhury, and Sidse Babett Knudsen.
A Hologram For The King follows businessman Alan Clay (Hanks) on a journey halfway around the world, far from his American roots, to a rising Saudi Arabian city.
Clay is dispatched to pitch a new IT contract to a wealthy King, a project that must be a success for him to stave off bankruptcy, pay his daughter's college fees, and finally, accomplish something big.
A Hologram For The King is the first time that we have seen Hanks on the big screen since the success of Bridge of Spies at the end of last year. 2016 is set to be another very busy year for the actor and A Hologram For The King is just one of the film projects that we are going to be seeing him star in.
A Hologram For The King is released 20th May.
