Tom Hanks reunites with Steven Spielberg for a new Cold War thriller.  It marks their fourth movie working together.

Production has begun in New York on the new Steven Spielberg-directed Cold War drama starring Tom Hanks.

Based on a true story, Hanks portrays James Donovan, a lawyer handling negotiations for the release of a captured American U-2  pilot. The untitled spy thriller, which hits theaters next October, reunites 58-year-old actor Tom Hanks and 67-year old Steven Spielberg in their fourth movie together.

Beyond the Marquee’s Co-Founder and Web-Series Reporter, Jon Donahue (pictured in white behind Steven Spielberg), is currently on-location working on the film which is rumored to be filming in New York for the next six-weeks before moving to Germany to continue production.

No stranger to working with Hanks, Donahue has worked side-by-side with Tom on such Hollywood Blockbusters as Saving Mr. Banks, Angels and Demons, The Ladykillers, Cloud Atlas, Charlie Wilson’s War, Captain Phillips and the upcoming, A Hologram for the King.

Sworn to secrecy, Jon unfortunately won’t be offering up any spoilers anytime soon, but the UK’s gossip site, “Daily Mail Online” has some pics from Monday’s first day of filming that are worth checking out.

We here at Beyond the Marquee are proud that one of our own Marquee’ologists is on hand and working behind-the-scenes on this exciting new film. We look forward to seeing the finished work in theaters next year.
