A lot has changed recently. For instance, the Dixie Chicks are now called simply The Chicks. (Because of racism.) Also, none of the movies you expected to see this year are actually coming out in 2020. (Because of the pandemic.)
But one thing will never change, no matter what happens in this world, and that’s Tom Hanks’s interest in telling stories about World War II.
He loves it!
His passion for this subject—which has previously brought us such projects as Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, and The Pacific—has now produced his latest film, Greyhound, which will now premiere on Apple TV+ in July rather than in theaters, as originally planned. (Because of the pandemic.) Let Greyhound be the comfortable little room in your childhood home that doesn’t change at all even as the house is redecorated over time and eventually a living room wall is knocked out to expand the kitchen.
As we await the first album from The Chicks later this month, here is everything else you can expect in the way of entertainment.
