‘Greyhound': Tom Hanks Writes and Stars in WWII Submarine Thriller [Trailer]

March 6, 2020 Jordan Ruimy

Tom Hanks’ incredible string of performances from 1992 to 2002 must be one of the all-time great Hollywood acting streaks— “A League of Their Own,” “Philadelphia,” “Forrest Gump,” “Apollo 13,” “Toy Story,” “Saving Private Ryan,” “The Green Mile,” “Cast Away,” “Catch Me If You Can,” and, his most underrated work, “Road to Perdition.” But then, post-2003, Hanks had to conform and fit in with an ever-changing industry in which superheroes, sequels, and reboots were becoming the norm. He’s been hit and miss ever since then, but for every “Larry Crowne,” and “The Circle,” there was a “Bridge of Spies,” and “Sully.”

By the looks of the trailer, “Greyhound,” adapted by Hanks himself from C.S. Forester’s novel “The Good Shepherd,” could very well be part of the latter, but let’s be a tad cautious here. The fictional story of Ernest Krause, a U.S. Navy commander who leads a convoy of American ships across the Atlantic during World War II while being pursued by the Nazis, is a perfect fit for Hanks who captained his own ship in 2013’s intensely realized “Captain Phillips.”

As mentioned, Hanks has written the screenplay for “Greyhound,” which is helmed by cinematographer-turned-director Aaron Schneider  Starring alongside Hanks are Elizabeth Shue, playing the commander’s wife Eva, and Stephen Graham, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, and Rob Morgan.

“Greyhound” is released into theaters on June 12th.

The only thing more dangerous than the front lines was the fight to get there. Screenplay by Tom Hanks inspired by actual events, Greyhound comes to theaters...
