Based on the best-selling novel by Dave Eggers, A Hologram for the King is an unusual movie to bring to the big screen but with Tom Hanks on board, a man who loves stories where folks ‘find themselves’ again, they’re sure to bring in the audiences they’re aiming for and this new trailer antes up the feel-good factor.
Hanks plays Alan Clay, a man who’s lost his job, his wife and most things aren’t going too well as he heads off to a new, modern metropolis in the Arabian desert. He’s there to try and sell his American company’s teleconferencing system but things don’t go to plan there either… because the king has already lost interest.
Directed by Tom Tykwer, it also stars Homeland‘s Sarita Choudhury, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Tom Skerritt and Ben Whishaw. You can find it in UK cinemas from 20 May!
