Tom Hanks Set to Play President Abraham Lincoln In Biopic Movie That Will Blend Live-Action and Animation
I’m incredibly excited about this new project! It’s going to be an adaptation of George Saunders’ brilliant Lincoln in the Bardo, which won the Booker Prize a few years back. Duke Johnson, the director of the amazing Anomalisa, is at the helm, and he’s doing something really unique: Tom Hanks will be performing live-action alongside this incredible stop-motion animation created by Starburns Industries. But it’s not your typical Lincoln biopic. Forget the war and politics – this story takes place over just one night in 1862. It focuses on Lincoln as a grieving father, visiting his son William’s grave in Georgetown. It sounds deeply emotional, and the whole thing unfolds through this really surreal mix of characters, both living and… not, all stuck in this in-between place called the bardo. It’s going to be something special, I can feel it.
