Exclusive: Fresh off his triumphal return as the voice of Woody, Disney/Pixar’s venerable franchise pull-string cowboy toy in what is either Toy Story 27 or whatever number they’re up to now, Tom Hanks has signed on for yet another major starring role in his long and storied career.
Production is slated to start in the fall for the yet untitled Stephen Soderbergh -directed vehicle starring the multiple Oscar and Emmy winner in the role of your Dad.
“Tom’s vast experience renders him pitch perfect for playing your Dad,” beamed Director Soderbergh.
“When you are struggling with U.S. Geography in the Ninth Grade Tom as your Dad will sit you down and map out a strategy with the words Houston, We Have a Problem Here.
Tom will also teach you basic survival skills such as making fire and bonding with a volley ball.”
“I have played virtually every other role imaginable from Kip in Bosom Buddies to Mr. Rogers,” said Hanks, but this one critical role has always eluded me.”
“And the warm-hearted scene where I explain to you that Life is, in fact, Like a Box of‘Chocolates - that’s pure movie magic.”
Shawn Levy, the film’s producer, added “We simply couldn’t imagine anyone else in this role - Tom’s talent is Big! We’re betting when Tom Hanks as your Dad hits the screens in mid 2027, audiences will leave the theater crowing You’ve got a friend in me and We know what love is!”
And soon to be announced, but you heard it here first, the role of your Mom will be played by … Your Mom.
