Sony Pictures has unveiled the first trailer and poster for “Greyhound,” a film in the vein of classic Alistair MacLean war movies like “The Guns of Navarone” or “Where Eagles Dare”.
Tom Hanks leads this $50 million adaptation of “Horatio Hornblower” author C. S. Forester’s WW2 naval thriller novel “The Good Shepherd” and the project is helmed by Aaron Schneider who returns a decade after his last film “Get Low”.
Hanks plays Ernest Krause, a USN commander who must protect an international convoy of 37 Allied ships from wolf packs of German U-boats as they cross the North Atlantic. At the same time Krause, commanding the titular Navy destroyer leading the fleet, battles his own self-doubts and personal demons.
Stephen Graham, Elisabeth Shue and Karl Glusman co-star in the film which Hanks himself adapted the script for and which opens June 12th.
