[amz asin=”B00CS303U4″ size=”small”]I hadn’t even realized Tom Hanks had decided to reteam with his Cloud Atlas director Tom Tykwer, but today the first picture from their collaboration on the adaptation of Dave Eggers‘ A Hologram for the King has premiered, featuring Hanks in the story of a washed-up, desperate American salesman who travels to Saudi Arabia to secure the IT contract for a massive new complex being built in the middle of the desert.
The film is making the rounds at the Cannes market and co-stars Sarita Choudhury (“Homeland”), Omar Elba (Intelligence), Tracey Fairaway (Enough Said), David Menkin (Zero Dark Thirty) and Tom Skerritt (Top Gun).
