Tom Hanks Film Adaptation of In the Garden of Beasts
Actor Tom Hanks is producing and starring in a film adaptation of Erik Larson's book "In the Garden of Beasts," which chronicles the rise of the Hitler regime in 1930s Berlin. Natalie Portman is rumored to play the ambassador's daughter. There is skepticism regarding whether the Hollywood production will maintain the book's warning about creeping authoritarianism or serve as a distraction.
