Joel and Ethan Coen
Joel and Ethan Coen have been brought on board to re-write Tom Hanks' new Cold War drama.
The untitled DreamWorks project was originally penned by Matt Charman, and is based on a true story.
However, the Coen brothers - who have won screenwriting Oscars for Fargo and No Country For Old Men - are no on board the project - according to Variety.
Hanks is set to take on the lead role in the film, while Steve Spielberg will be in the director's chair.
Hanks will take on the role of American attorney James Donovan, who was enlisted by the CIA during the Cold War to negotiate the 1962 release of spy-plane pilot Francis Gary Powers, who was shot down over Russia two years earlier.
Hanks last appeared on the big screen as film magnate Walt Disney in 2013's 'Saving Mr. Banks' and he's currently filming for 'A Hologram For The King', which is set for a 2015 release date.
Meanwhile, Spielberg has been lined up to helm the upcoming Indiana Jones sequel and a film adaptation of the Roald Dahl novel 'The BFG'.
Hanks and Spielberg have worked together on three films in the past, 'Saving Private Ryan', 'Catch Me if You Can' and 'The Terminal', while the Coen brothers directed 'Inside Llewyn Davis' from their own script.
