Tom Hanks-starrer ‘Bios’ to release in August

Los Angeles, Jan. 23 (PTI): Veteran actor Tom Hanks’ upcoming sci-fi feature “Bios” has been delayed by four months.

A Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment production, the movie was scheduled to open in the US theatres on April 16 this year but will now release on August 13, reported Variety.

The film has been directed by Miguel Sapochnik, best known for helming episodes of HBO’s epic fantasy “Game of Thrones”.
