The coronavirus pandemic has scuttled another major movie release — and proved a boon for AppleTV+.
“Greyhound,” a World War II drama written by and starring Tom Hanks, will now premiere in 100 countries on the six-month-old streaming service and skip a traditional wide release, Deadline reports.
Apple has not announced a new release date.
In the drama, produced with Hanks and wife Rita Wilson’s Playtone Productions, the 63-year-old actor plays George Krause, a captain of a Navy destroyer during the Battle of the Atlantic. The film was originally supposed to be distributed by Sony Pictures on June 21 for Father’s Day weekend.
Instead “Greyhound” will become the biggest film release so far for AppleTV+, an emerging competitor for Netflix and Amazon.
Hanks and Wilson both tested positive for COVID-19 in March while filming Baz Luhrmann’s new Elvis Presley film in Australia. The couple has since recovered.
