Tom Hanks World War 2 D-Day sequel with Stephen Graham is now filming | Films | Entertainment | EUROtoday

Back in 2020, Tom Hanks starred within the movie adaptation of CS Forester’s 1955 novel The Good Shepherd.

The World War 2 story follows a US Navy commander on his first task, main a multi-national escort destroyer group to defend an Allied convoy from German U-boats.

Set throughout the Battle of the Atlantic, Greyhound stars Hanks as Commander Ernie Krause, a Christian Naval officer whose mission is analogous to Psalm 23.

The Bible poem written by King David speaks of God as the great shepherd who guides the Old Testament monarch by way of the valley of the shadow of loss of life, whilst his enemies encompass him.

The 90-minute thriller obtained constructive opinions and stays in Apple TV+’s Film Top 10 to at the present time. And now Hanks is reprising the function in a sequel set two years on.

Filming is now underway in Australia, based on Deadline, and for the primary time since Saving Private Ryan, the star is returning to Operation Overlord. The sequel’s motion begins with the Greyhound crew at D-Day earlier than heading to the Pacific Theatre. Adolescence star Stephen Graham is reprising his function as Lieutenant Commander Charlie Cole, as is Elisabeth Shue as Evie, whereas Robin Hood’s Jack Patten joins the forged. A launch date is TBC, however we’d guess the movie will likely be on Apple TV+ in 2027.
