News of the World Trailer

News of the World stars Tom Hanks as a retired soldier, a veteran of three wars and now a travelling storyteller. Charged with protecting an innocent girl from the dangers of the Old West

Screen legend Tom Hanks once said he couldn’t play a villain as he doesn’t think he could fake being scary on screen as that’s just not who he is. Despite this ‘restriction’, Tom has managed to cover every other type of character on screen from comical to vulnerable to heroic. The movie sees Tom reuniting with Director Paul Greengrass for the first time since 2013’s award winning Captain Phillips. This time he plays a retired soldier, now a travelling storyteller in the wild west who ends up as the protector of a young innocent girl unable to communicate, played by Helena Zengel. News of the world is still slated for a Christmas 2020 release. View the trailer here
