A Hologram for the Kingstars Tom Hanks as Alan Clay, a failed American businessman looking to recoup his losses by travelling to Saudi Arabia and selling his idea to a wealthy monarch.
However, the trailer is the most predictable two-and-a-half minutes you’ll ever sit through as it’s clearly a bit too hot for him, then he makes a terrorist-related joke, there’s a love interest, and it all goes along like jolly hockey sticks! Pur-lease!
Written and directed by Tom Tykwer (Cloud Atlas, also starring Hanks), adapted from the novel by Dave Eggers, the film also stars Ben Whishaw, Tom Skerritt, Sarita Choudhury and Borgen‘s Sidse Babett Knudsen.
A Hologram for the King is released in UK cinemas on May 20th.
