I already need a Kleenex.Amblin Entertainment will produce the tale of the last man on Earth who is slowly dying and must teach a robot to care for his dog after he passes.
Apple Original Films won a very competitive weekend auction among streamers to land the Tom Hanks-starrer Finch, an Amblin Entertainment sci-fi film that previously carried the title Bios and was originally intended to be released by Universal. It will now be released on Apple TV+ later this year, likely in awards season, with a qualifying theatrical run at least in the cards.
In Finch, a man, a robot and a dog form an unlikely family, as the man tries to ensure his beloved canine companion will be cared for after he’s gone. Hanks stars as Finch, a robotics engineer and one of the few survivors of a cataclysmic solar event that has left the world a wasteland. Finch, who has been living in an underground bunker for a decade, has built a world of his own that he shares with his dog, Goodyear. He creates a robot (played by Get Out‘s Caleb Landry Jones) to watch over Goodyear when he no longer can. As the trio embarks on a perilous journey into a desolate American West, Finch strives to show his creation the joy and wonder of what it means to be alive.
Sounds great, but it needs more Chet Hanks! I need a father and son road trip movie starring Tom Hanks and Chet.
He should have said it was gonna be a white boy summer.
Chet Hanks pushes the limits for what it means to be Tom Hanks. He threatens to snap each time Chet does something. I'm telling you, it's a hilarious sitcom in the making!
