The trailer for A Hologram for the King, Dave Eggers' novel adaptation, debuted Thursday, March 10 meeting up with Hanks' everyman (Alan Clay) as he attempts to pitch his "three-dimensional holographic meeting system" to a king in Saudi Arabia.

The film also stars Sarita Choudhury (Homeland), Tom Skerritt (Ted), Omar Elba (Intelligence), Tracey Fairaway (Enough Said) and David Menkin (Zero Dark Thirty). A Hologram for the King was directed and written by Cloud Atlas director Tom Tykwer. It is a Lionsgate/Roadside Attractions/Saban Films release.
