While many people have cried out for years in favor of Castaway’s Tom Hanks becoming the US President, it appears as his supporters may soon get their wish (on screen at least); as he’s just been offered the lead role in the upcoming action thriller Patriot Down.
Coming from producer Kevin Walsh (War of the Worlds’ assistant director), Patriot Down begins with Air Force One getting shot down over the skies of Pakistan, and would see Hanks’ President not only stranded, but on the run, and fighting for his life, in the film which as yet doesn’t have an official release date, but would look to begin filming next year.
