Director Paul Greengrass (United 93, Jason Bourne) and Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks, who worked on Captain Phillips (2013) together, return for the western drama ‘News of the World’. It is based on the novel of the same name from author Paulette Jiles.
The film tells the story of a widowed Civil War veteran who 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.
This is the first American feature film for German child actress Helena Zengel, who was discovered at the Berlin International Film Festival premiere of the German motion picture, System Crasher.
News of the World is set to hit theaters this Christmas. Watch the new trailer below.
