BIOS (Amblin Entertainment) | October 2
Although Tom Hanks did have a post-apocalyptic thread in Cloud Atlas, we haven't actually seen him flex that muscle likewise much. Instead, he's been starring in biopics and dramas and Da Vinci Code spinoffs. Needless to say, BIOS is heady considering it gives Hanks something a bit different to chew on. Not to mention, information technology'southward directed by Game of Thrones' "Battle of the Bastards" managing director, Miguel Sapochnik.
The film is set up on a mail-apocalyptic Earth. Hanks, who fears he will die soon, builds a robot to protect his beloved domestic dog.
