After becoming one of the earliest celebrities to recover from the coronavirus, Tom Hanks is poised to star in a new World War II naval drama that he believes mirrors the current pandemic conditions the world finds itself in.
Since contracting COVID-19 in March, Tom Hanks has been, by most measures, busy. He and his wife, Rita Wilson, flew home after recuperating in Australia, where he had been shooting Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis Presley film.
He hosted a from-home episode of “Saturday Night Live," and he saw his new World War II naval drama “Greyhound” steered from a theatrical release by Sony Pictures to Apple TV+ — the streaming service’s biggest movie yet.
