Originally announced as BIOS in 2017, the film was previously scheduled to release in cinemas last year. After several pandemic induced delays, BIOS was retitled Finch and sold to Apple TV+, where it will debut later this year.
Miguel Sapochnik, previously known for the Game of Throne's epic-scale episode Battle of the Bastards, is directing the film. It is also set to star X-Men First Class and Get Out's Caleb Laundry Jones as Hanks' android, Jeff. From what Apple has shared about the film so far, Hanks plays Finch, an out of sorts robotics engineer who is one of the few known-survivors in a world largely decimated by a catastrophic solar event. Having spent many years locked away in a bunker with his dog, Goodyear, Finch builds Jeff to look after he's gone.
The film sets the duo out on an ambitious quest across the American West, where the ambitious engineer strives to show his robotic creation the joy and wonder felt in being alive. Apple has described the post-apocalyptic drama as the "moving adventure of one man’s quest to ensure that his beloved canine companion will be cared for after he’s gone."
In other related news, Apple TV+ recently announced that its award-winning comedy series Ted Lasso was the platform's biggest ever launch when it returned for its Season 2 premiere. The hit-comedy features Jason Sudeikis as a naïve happy-go-lucky Premier League coach in fabulous feel-good form.
