Kenner is rumoured to be playing Hanks’ wife, Andrea Phillips, who remains strong and devoted to her husband throughout the entire ordeal.
Paul Greengrass (Green Zone) is attached to direct from a screenplay penned by Billy Ray (The Hunger Games), while Scott Rudin, Kevin Spacey, Michael De Luca, Dana Brunetti will executive produce.
Kenner will next be seen in Peace, Love & Misunderstanding, opposite Jane Fonda (The Morning After) and Elizabeth Olsen (Martha Marcy May Marlene).
