Steven Spielberg has a new movie in the works and it just got an exciting new trailer. Called Bridge of Spies and based on a real story from the Cold War era, the new thriller stars Tom Hanks. But what’s really interesting about it is that Spielberg collaborated with Joel and Ethan Coen, who rewrote Matt Charman’s original script for Spielberg.
