DreamWorks Pictures/Fox 2000 Pictures has released the poster to its upcoming dramatic thriller Bridge of Spies, which is directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Hanks. The film will be released in theaters nationwide on October 16, 2015.
A dramatic thriller set against the backdrop of a series of historic events, Bridge of Spies tells the story of James Donovan (Hanks), a Brooklyn lawyer who finds himself thrust into the center of the Cold War when the CIA sends him on the near-impossible task to negotiate the release of a captured American U-2 pilot.
Written by Matt Charman and Ethan Coen & Joel Coen, Donovan’s life was inspired by true events that captures the essence of a man who risked everything and vividly brings his personal journey to life.
Bridge of Spies also stars Mark Rylance as Rudolf Abel, a KGB agent defended by Donovan; Scott Shepherd as CIA operative Hoffman; Amy Ryan as James’ wife, Mary; Sebastian Koch as East German lawyer Vogel; and Alan Alda as Thomas Watters, a partner at Donovan’s law firm.
Fox 2000 Pictures co-financed Bridge of Spies with DreamWorks in association with Participant Media, and will distribute internationally. Disney will handle domestic distribution. In addition to directing, Spielberg is producing the film with Marc Platt and Kristie Macosko Krieger, with Adam Somner, Daniel Lupi, Jeff Skoll and Jonathan King serving as executive producers.
