Dystopia. Ultimately we have seen many series and films that explore possible futures with similar themes. 'Black Mirror', for example.

In this thriller, Eamon Bailey (Tom Hanks) is the voice of a powerful and innovative company: the circle, or The Circle. In his speech promotional warns: "There are no problems we can't solve. The possibilities are endless".

To his time Emma Watson plays Mae Holland, a young girl looking for work. In search of a dream, she is committed to the new company.

In addition to the new trailer, the film has also launched the international movie poster. The graphic image is characterized by the logo of The Circle. A kind of maze in red with the motto: "Knowing is good. Knowing everything is best."

New Black Mirror?

Based on the eponymous novel written by Dave Eggers, the science-fiction film casts John Boyega ('Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens') in the role of Kalden; Ellar Coltrane ('Boyhood') as Mercer, one of the friends of Mae, alongside Bill Paxton and Karen Gillan, among others. This will be the second time that Tom Hanks participate in an adaptation of Eggers, also appeared in 'A Hologram for the King'.

As John Boyega, the actor will return in the next installment of 'Star Wars' than by is entitled 'The Last Jedi', in addition to 'Pacific Rim: Uprising', the sequel to the film directed by Guillermo del Toro from 2013.

Top 10 Tom Hanks films

'Splash'

10 Allen Bauer ('Splash')

After tanning on television during the first half of the 1980s, Ron Howard (one of the directors who have most influenced his career) gave him his chance on the big screen with his first film as the protagonist, Allen Bauer who one day discovers that the girl of his dreams... is a mermaid (Daryl Hannah). 'Splash' (1984) was a modest romantic comedy with fantastic touches and without pretensions. It unveiled the young Hanks at the international level.

'Da Vinci Code'

9 Robert Langdon ('The Da Vinci Code')

The adventures of the researcher Robert Langdon (coming from the imagination of the writer Dan Brown) may not be the most prestigious literary and cinematographic works of the world, but due to the millions of readers around the world, the films have managed to make a lot of money, and have spawned into three films: 'The Da Vinci Code' (2006), 'Angels and Demons' (2009) and 'Inferno' (2016)

'Big'

8 Josh Baskin ('Big')

Films like 'Bachelor Party' (Neal Israel, 1984), 'The Man with One Red Shoe' (Stan Dragoti, 1985) or 'Dragnet' (Tom Mankiewicz, 1987) had typecast the young Tom Hanks "for over 13 years". However, in 1988 he starred in one of the more fantastic and endearing comedies of the decade, 'Big', where a child is put in the body of a grown man, and through his innocent gaze, shows us a cynic world and incomprehensible adult perception. The film was a success, and his credible portrayal earned him a recognition: his first nomination for an Oscar.

'Captain Phillips'

7 Richard Phillips ('Captain Phillips')

One of the more unanimously applauded roles was his portrayal of Captain Richard Phillips, a real person that with a combination of audacity and level-headedness managed to save the life of his crew, kidnapped in its own freighter by a reduced group of pirates Somali. Paul Greengrass gave the opportunity to show off with a work content and truthful, prototype of the everyday hero willing to gamble to his regret.

'Toy Story'

6 Woody ('Toy Story')

That is an animation film that deprives us of the joy of seeing Tom Hanks' face, and the dubbing in countries that don't speak English prevent his full appreciation. Perhaps not everyone knows that Tom Hanks is the ineffable sheriff Woody of the 'Toy Story' series, but is just to recognize his contribution to one of the most charismatic characters, recognized and loved by audiences of all ages in one of the most brilliant film sagas that have emerged from the Pixar factory.

'Road To Perdition'

5 Michael Sullivan ('Road to Perdition')

Taciturn, introverted, discreet and homicidal. It's not often that Tom Hanks plays an anti-hero, and perhaps the closest thing we find is this gangster with principles (but whom does not hesitate to pull the trigger if the situation requires it) forced to take road and blanket to protect the life of his firstborn. At the time, 'Road to Perdition' did not have the recognition it deserved, and this outstanding film from Sam Mendes deserves to be recovered and claimed.

'Cast Away'

4 Chuck Noland ('Cast Away')

Six years after have worked together in the successful 'Forrest Gump', Robert Zemeckis challenged Tom Hanks to a true physical endurance and acting for a film in which, almost 80%, he would be the only actor in screen. For 'Cast Away' (2000), where the filming was done out of sequence, Hanks fattened up to 20 kg to play the character during the first part of the film; then production stopped for eight months, while the actor used to undergo a strict diet (lost 30 kg) and let his hair and beard grow, so he looks starved and disheveled during the other part of the film. An effort that was rewarded with a Golden Globe and a new nomination for an Oscar, and although the film had a reception something warm by critics and the public, with time has been turned into a small and wanted classic with valuable ratings on each TV replacement.

'Saving Private Ryan

3 Captain Miller ('Saving Private Ryan')

Take Normandy, assault a since of control nazi or protect a bridge vital to the advance of the army Allied seems much more easy under the command of a captain as Miller in 'Saving Private Ryan' (1998), first of the fruitful collaborations between Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg (actor and director) (respectively, with 'Catch Me If You Can', 'The Terminal' and 'Bridge of Spies', both as producers of 'Blood Brothers' and 'The Pacific'). Hanks was able to combine the authority and discipline of a military commander with the sensitivity of a scared man who only want to return home.

Philadelphia'

2 Andrew Beckett ('Philadelphia')

Tom Hanks, king of 80s comedy, already had had a few flirtations with others genres with some relative success ('The Bonfire of the Vanities', 'Sleepless in Seattle'), and early on the last decade of century seemed condemned to repeat a cycle of comedic character. Then, producer Edward Saxon and Director Jonathan Demme trusted him as the protagonist of his controversial 'Philadelphia' (1993), the story of a lawyer's success repudiated by his homosexuality and HIV carrier status. It is difficult to determine if Hanks did more for the gay community with their honest work in the film or his exciting speech at the gala of the Oscars in 1994 (when went up to collect the first statuette of his career from the hands of Emma Thompson), but in any case, and regardless of the different considerations around the film (for some , is a mere telefilm with aspirations; (for others, a brave first step in a theme in which Hollywood, until then, never is had wet), his Andrew Beckett is a true icon of respect, tolerance and equality.

'Forrest Gump'

1 Forrest ('Forrest Gump')

And to think this character was almost played by John Travolta! Is it possible to imagine Forrest Gump with any other face than of Tom Hanks? A script Grand provided by Eric Roth (on the novel by Winston Groom), an exemplary address under the baton of Robert Zemeckis, a cast in State of grace and a few technological advances at the service of the film as they had never before seen. But none of that would have been meaningless without the methodical interpretation of Hanks, who gave his life and soul into one of the most beloved characters in the history of cinema (and which, as consideration, was awarded his second consecutive Oscar, something that until then only Spencer Tracy had achieved); He was the true effect special of the film.
