Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, the creative minds behind bothBand of BrothersandPacific, are once again diving into the raw, emotive history of war. Having successfully moved critics and audiences alike before with their adaptation of Stephen E. Ambrose’s book, fans are expecting more of the same. After seeing Hanks and Butler together inElvis, we know those two are a winning combination, which is part of the reason Butler decided to take the role.
During an interview with The Sunday Times, Butler revealed what Hanks had said to convince him the role was a good fit. “You have immersed yourself so deeply inElvisthat, for your mental health, it would be wise to go straight into something else. If you just jump off the train, you might have emotional whiplash.” Before coyly adding, “And, you know, I’ve got this thing I’m producing."
Sneaky, sneaky Tom Hanks.
When the new series comes to our screens, it’ll be via Apple TV+, with this series being the first that Apple Studios has produced, seemingly adding more pressure for success.
