About a year ago, we shared the news that Tom Hanks was to team up again with CLOUD ATLAS-helmer Tom Tykwer and now we’ve got the first image from that film, A HOLOGRAM FOR THE KING.

This time Hanks plays Alan Clay, an American salesmen who finds himself in Saudi Arabia. In the comedy-drama, Clay (Hanks) heads off in a desperate bid to save his ailing career after they build a huge new complex in the middle of the desert in Saudi Arabia.

It also sees the star returning to fiction, as this one is based on the book by Dave Eggers. It also stars legendary actor Tom Skerritt, plus Jane Perry, Sarita Choudhury (Homeland), Omar Elba (Intelligence), Tracey Fairaway (ENOUGH SAID), David Menkin (ZERO DARK THIRTY).

A HOLOGRAM FOR THE KING is produced by Hanks’ Playtone, plus X Filme, and Primeridian. We’ll bring you release details as we hear it, it’s currently looking to be picked up internationally at Cannes.
