Bios: Tom Hanks Movie Adds Caleb Landry Jones

Caleb Landry Jones will be co-starring alongside Academy Award winner Tom Hanks in Amblin’s upcoming sci-fi movie Bios, Variety has confirmed.

The film follows Finch (Hanks), the last man on Earth. An ailing inventor facing his own mortality, Finch builds a robot (Jones) to keep his beloved dog safe. As the trio embarks upon an epic cross-country journey, the scientist must teach his creation to become “human” enough to take care of its charge, and the beloved pet to accept a new master.
