Tom Hanks And Sarita Choudhury Star In Delightful Trailer For A HOLOGRAM FOR THE KING

Tom Hanks asks “How did I get here?” (ala The Talking Heads) in the first trailer for director Tom Tykwer’s A HOLOGRAM FOR THE KING

Cultures collide when an American businessman (Hanks) is sent to Saudi Arabia to close what he hopes will be the deal of a lifetime. Baffled by local customs and stymied by an opaque bureaucracy, he eventually finds his footing with the help of a wise-cracking taxi driver (Alexander Black) and a beautiful Saudi doctor (Sarita Choudhury).

This look absolutely charming!

Tykwer and Hanks previously worked together on the 2012 science-fiction movie CLOUD ATLAS. That film, which only gets better upon repeat viewings, was written and directed by Lana Wachowski, Tom Tykwer and Lilly Wachowski.

Lionsgate, Roadside Attractions and Saban Films will release A HOLOGRAM FOR THE KING in theaters April 22, 2016.

A HOLOGRAM FOR THE KING will have its world premiere at the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival in the ‘Spotlight’ section.
