BIOS – April 16, 2021
Also currently in post-production is a drama that has often been referred to as “that one sci-fi dog movie with Tom Hanks,” as the relationship between his elderly character, Finch (also Earth’s last living human), and his dog is focal point. However, I would at least bet that BIOS, in which Finch builds a robot he hopes can take care of his trusted canine after he passes, will be far from some post-apocalyptic update of Turner & Hooch, the 1989 buddy cop comedy that paired the actor with a French Mastiff.
Caleb Landry Jones, of Get Out and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri fame, co-stars as the mechanical pet protector named Jeff, whom Finch is committed to teaching how to be more human, in this futuristic drama originally scheduled for an October 2020 release before the Covid-19 outbreak pushed it back to April of the following year.
