Tom Hanks suggests that ‘News Of The World’ could be the final film of its genre

Tom Hanks, the beloved actor known for his iconic roles in movies like Forrest Gump and Cast Away, is back with a new film that he believes could be one of the last of its kind to grace the big screen. In an interview with Collider, Hanks expressed his concerns about the future of cinema in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

Hanks stars in the upcoming film News Of The World, a drama set in post-Civil War America, where he plays a veteran who travels the country delivering news to remote communities. The film is a departure from the CGI-heavy blockbusters that dominate the box office, and Hanks worries that movies like News Of The World may soon become a rarity in theaters.

With studios increasingly turning to streaming platforms to release their films, Hanks fears that the traditional cinematic experience may be in jeopardy. He believes that the pandemic has accelerated a shift towards streaming, and that many movies may never see a theatrical release again.

Despite these concerns, Hanks remains optimistic about the future of cinema. He acknowledges that streaming has its place, but he also believes that there will always be a demand for movies that are meant to be seen on the big screen.

News Of The World is set to be released in theaters in the US on Christmas Day, with a simultaneous streaming release on Netflix. As audiences eagerly await the film’s debut, Hanks’s words serve as a reminder of the importance of preserving the cinematic experience in an ever-changing industry.
