Brief look at ‘News Of The World’ via short teaser; Tom Hanks lead, Paul Greengrass directs

Check out this brief look at News Of The World, the next Tom Hanks and Paul Greengrass teaming which will see them work together for the first time since Captain Phillips seven years ago. Greengrass wrote the script for the film with Luke Davies (Lion), based on the best-selling novel by Paulette Jiles.

Five years after the end of the Civil War, Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd (Hanks), a widower and veteran of three wars, now moves from town to town as a non-fiction storyteller, sharing the news of presidents and queens, glorious feuds, devastating catastrophes, and gripping adventures from the far reaches of the globe. In the plains of Texas, he crosses paths with Johanna (Helena Zengel, System Crasher), a 10-year-old taken in by the Kiowa people six years earlier and raised as one of their own. Johanna, hostile to a world she’s never experienced, is being returned to her biological aunt and uncle against her will. Kidd agrees to deliver the child where the law says she belongs. As they travel hundreds of miles into the unforgiving wilderness, the two will face tremendous challenges of both human and natural forces as they search for a place that either can call home.
