The Hollywood Reporter has brought word that The Post‘s Tom Hanks and 22 July‘s Paul Greengrass will be reuniting for the upcoming Civil War drama News of the World for 20th Century Fox.
Hanks, who previously worked with Greengrass on the Oscar-nominated thriller Captain Phillips, is set to produce the project alongside Gary Goetzman for Playtone and Gail Mutrux for Pretty Pictures.
He is hired to help transport an orphan girl whose parents were killed by a Native American tribe that then took her in and raised her to San Antonio to her surviving relatives.
As they make the trek through dangerous territories, they form a close bond that the man finds will make it difficult to relinquish her to her relatives, who have no desire to take her and have abusive plans for her.
