Actor and filmmaker Tom Hanks has landed his way in his next intriguing pick: a project revolving around the sci-fi genre from Miguel Sapochnik, the stellar director behind everyone’s all-time favourite ‘Game of Thrones.’
The film will centre on the ambitions of a robot built to protect its ailing creator’s dog. With the Oscar winner portraying the role of the creator, the Artificial Intelligence actor goes through the transgression of learning about meanings such as love, friendship, as well as human life.
Though Sapochnik has a growing list of television credits, including helming episodes of True Detective and Masters of Sex, he’s best known now for directing “Hardhome,” “Battle of the Bastards,” and “The Winds of Winter” from Game of Thrones.
Meanwhile, the actor recently finished filming “The Post” (previously titled “The Paper”) with director Steven Spielberg and co-stars Meryl Streep, Alison Brie and Sarah Paulson. Hanks played Ben Bradlee, the Washington Post editor who got in hot water with the U.S. government in 1971 for the Pentagon Papers controversy. The movie will screen in theaters on January 2018.
