Tom Hanks to star in the movie adaptation of 'News of the World'. Paulette Jiles' novel, which was published last year to critical acclaim and nominated for a National Book Award, will be transferred onto the big screen by screenwriter Luke Davies who was responsible for the Oscar-winning 'Lion'. Set in 1870, the novel follows a road trip through the Western territory by two unlikely travelling partners - one is Jefferson Kyle Kidd, a Texan Captain, and the other is a 10-year-old girl who he has to escort back to her family in San Antonio.
