And we don't know when, how, if we're going to get out of it.
We are all in the middle of the COVID-19 crisis, which ends up being like five times bigger than we anticipated it being. Just as Ernie Krause is in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, wondering when, how, if he is going to survive and do his job. It actually is a theme of emotional physical status. But with that removed, I mean, literally removed as a possibility, we were left with this other reality.

There can be wonderful surprises that come along if a movie lands, but there's only 24 hours in the day, and there's only so many inches even you journalists have in order to dedicate to something. And as a producer – and as the star – he said that Apple came around at the ideal moment and gave Greyhound a chance to be seen. It’s nuts that we live in a world where Tom Hanks returning to World War II for a submarine thriller would be an underdog at the theaters against Top Gun Maverick and Wonder Woman 1984, but he’s right. Listening to him explain how Greyhound likely would have struggled in the landscape dominated by sequel is refreshing. One of the best things about Tom Hanks is that he’s been around the block in this film industry a dozen times, and he knows how the game is played. We’d have to go off and fight tooth and nail just for attention. And we were going to be, probably, the runt of the litter because we're not a franchise. We were going to be in the midst of that brutal fisticuff battle for screens, for eyeballs, for awareness, for a marketing campaign, money that would have to be spent on prints and advertising. We were going to come out a week after Wonder Woman, and a week before Top Gun 2. As a producer, we were going to come out June 8th. When we realized that we were going to have to either wait for X number of months before we would have to fight in order to get screens in the midst of this huge glut of movies… As a producer, let me put it to you this way. We were all heartbroken that this movie is not playing in cinemas. During a recent press day, Tom Hanks told CinemaBlend he was very thankful for the opportunity that Apple TV+ has given his movie, but couldn’t hide his disappointment at the current state of movies in theaters.
