Tom Hanks is set to play Abraham Lincoln in the upcoming film adaptation "Lincoln in the Bardo." He will also serve as a producer on the project.
The film is based on the George Saunders novel of the same title.
The film will center on Lincoln's relationship with his "recently deceased 11-year-old son" and will explore "themes of love, empathy and human capacity in the face of unimaginable grief" through the mix of stop-motion animation and live-action.
