Amy Ryan the latest amazing person to join Tom Hanks/Steven Spielberg/Coen brothers collaboration

Amy Ryan, an Oscar nominee for Gone Baby Gone and essential supporting player in most everything else, is set to star opposite Tom Hanks in Steven Spielberg’s upcoming, untitled Cold War thriller.

As if the flick didn’t already have an impressive pedigree, Matt Charman’s screenplay was recently retooled by the freaking Coen brothers.

Based on a true story, the flick will star Hanks as James Donovan, a CIA attorney who must negotiate with Russia the release of a captured American pilot.

Ryan will play Donovan’s wife.
