HBO is moving really fast with the filming of Game of Thrones prequel House of The Dragon. The show is expected to premiere in 2022. Meanwhile, the co-showrunner of the series Miguel Sapochnik’s Tom Hanks starring project has taken a major turn. While it was originally called Bios and set for theatrical release this August, it has now changed its title to Finch and has a new release date and outlet.
Originally, Bios was being released by Universal. Now Finch will be released on Apple TV+. The film is produced by Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment which held an auction for the film over the weekend, according to Deadline. Apple won the auction and plans on releasing the film later this year so it can be in contention for awards.
Finch is about a robotic engineer (Hanks) who survives an apocalyptic event by staying in a bunker for a decade. In that time, he designs a robot (voiced by Caleb Landry Jones) who can take care of the man’s dog, Goodyear, after the man dies. So basically it’s about a man, a dog, and his robot, learning to co-exist and live in a post-apocalyptic world where they’re some of the last beings around.
Sapochnik has teamed up with Hanks and Spielberg’s company to capture the film. Are you excited about Finch? Talk to us in the comments below!
