Tom Hanks confused at Chris Evans replacing Tim Allen in 'Lightyear': 'I don’t understand that'

<p>Can the love of fans kill an artist? So claims Tom Hanks' character Colonel Tom Parker right at the beginning of the film. He admits that the world perceives him as the villain in King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley's life, some even blame him for his death but Colonel Parker drawls, "it's you (the fans) who killed him". Baz Luhrmann's biopic of the legendary artist travels back in time and narrates the origin of Presley as an artist and his very complicated relationship with his manager Colonel Tom Parker. Actor Austin Butler nearly looks and behaves like Presley and together with Hanks and Luhrman takes the audience back to the glorious days of the King- narrating his rise, fall and rise again.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Luhrmann who is known for his different style of storytelling- be it 'Romeo &amp;Juliet' or 'Moulin Rouge' or even the 'The Great Gatsby', uses gospel music of the 1950s which Elvis was heavily influenced by and some of his iconic hits to create a fascinating world of the artist. The film begins with Colonel Parker going back in time on how he as a showrunner spotted Elvis during a local countryside music festival and took him under his wings.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
It also touches upon the singer's growing up years in black-dominated neighbourhoods in Mississippi and thus his music was majorly influenced by black artists who sang blues and jazz along with gospel music. A poignant moment at the beginning of the film has a young Elvis going into a trance while moving to a church song.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Another scene that stays on is one of the introductory scenes of Butler as the relatively unknown singer. Dressed in pink with heavy eye makeup, as the young Elvis walks in he gets booed for his looks and hair. The hall is silent when Elvis starts to tap his feet and eventually starts moving his legs vigorously to the beats and women slowly start losing it in the hall, wanting to grab him and get a piece of him almost. The performance led to the inception of the quintessential Elvis moves which at that time were termed as obscene and vulgar.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film then goes on to highlight his rise to stardom, touches upon his service in US Airforce, his Hollywood career and his famous Las Vegas concerts which Parker had orchestrated for his vested interest.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hanks, an actor par excellence, plays the wobbly, mysterious Parker to the hilt and also manages to make him the hero of Elvis' life. The relationship the two shared was complicated and the film muses on whether Elvis would have been such a huge star had it not been for Parker and his passion to make him this big.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The star of the film is Austen Butler as Elvis. Playing an iconic character on screen comes with huge responsibility and there is always a very thin line between emulating and becoming a caricature. Fortunately, Butler, who has even sung some of the songs, maintains a fine balance and delivers a class act. Butler doesn't look like Elvis, yet his performance grows on to you eventually.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film also wins because of the fluidity that the filmmaker maintains in narrating the film with scenes transitioning in a musical format almost. The narrative keeps going back and forth, yet it never slips because of its effective storyline.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For die-hard fans of the King of rock and roll, the story of Elvis is perhaps not new. But the film's release is timely for a generation who have perhaps heard of the musician and some of his songs but wouldn't know the hysteria that he created in his heyday. The film is a compelling watch for the performances by Hanks and Butler and for the legacy the artist left behind which to date remains unmatched. 'Elvis' has released in theatres this Friday.</p>

<p>Veteran star Tom Hanks won his first Oscar for best actor for essaying the role of a gay man with HIV in Jonathan Demme’s 1993 legal drama ‘Philadelphia’. 30 years apart, the actor now feels no&nbsp;straight actor would no longer be able to play the openly gay character today. In an interview with The New York Times, Hanks opened up about straight performers playing LGBTQ characters, Variety reported.</p>

<p>He said, "Let’s address ‘could a straight man do what I did in ‘Philadelphia’ now?’ No, and rightly so. The whole point of ‘Philadelphia’ was don’t be afraid. One of the reasons people weren’t afraid of that movie is that I was playing a gay man. We’re beyond that now, and I don’t think people would accept the inauthenticity of a straight guy playing a gay guy."</p>

<p>Hanks won the Oscar and a Golden Globe for his performance in ‘Philadelphia’, for his portrayal of Andrew Beckett, who is a gay attorney diagnosed with AIDS and also faces discrimination at work.

<p>Fans were concerned about Tom Hanks's health when he appeared to be struggling to control his shaking arm earlier this month. The 65-year-old actor is currently promoting Baz Luhrmann's upcoming biopic 'Elvis' based&nbsp;on the greatest Hollywood star, Elvis Presley. Hanks plays the singer's manager in the film.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Luhrmann, who was born in Sydney, organised a premiere at&nbsp;Australia's Gold Coast, which is 50 miles south of Brisbane and where the filming took place.</p>

<p>Along with Hanks, Austin Butler, 30, who is playing the lead character of Elvis Presley, also attended the ceremony on June 4.</p>

<p>"There is no better place in the world to make a motion picture than right here on the Gold Coast". He remarked, his right hand holding the microphone and his left hand in his pocket.</p>

<p>Further, the actor said he has shot films in Morocco, Los Angeles, New York City, Seattle, and Berlin, among other places, but none of the places is as happening as the Gold Coast. "None of them have what the Gold Coast have, and what is that? Two words. None of those other cities have Dan Murphy," he noted.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With Dan Murphy's, the actor referred to the booze shop chain there.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"What a man," he added to cheers, "who I got to know quite well."</p>

<p>Hanks attempted to control his shaking right hand by placing his left hand at the bottom of the microphone, underneath his right. He even briefly switched hands.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hanks headed back to America after the Australian premiere, where the film was played on June 11 at Graceland.</p>

<p>After the video clip went viral on social media, fans began to speculate on Hank’s health. A Twitter user wrote, "God forbid it could just be adrenaline and nerves!"</p>

<p>"He does seem like he has aged all of a sudden-lost weight," commented another user, while another Hank’s fan said, "Unfortunately his declining health points to possibly Parkinson's." "He's diabetic. This happens to my mom when she gets low blood sugar," wrote another.&nbsp;</p>

<br />
The Jurrasic Park director called him Cameron because Aamir Khan is also known for breaking his own box office records. However, Hanks made it clear that he knows&nbsp;Khan and is familiar with his work, as he revealed he has watched his 2009 film '3 Idiots' as many as three times.</p>

I am very curious to see how Tom Hanks' reacts after watching the film. He is a wonderful actor".

Back in the day, Spielberg was filming a film with Forrest Gump star Tom Hanks in Germany. Spielberg further introduced Aamir Khan to Tom Hanks and referred to him as "James Cameron of India." The Jurrasic Park director called him Cameron because Aamir Khan is also known for breaking his own box office records. However, Hanks made it clear that he knows Khan and is familiar with his work, as he revealed he has watched his 2009 film '3 Idiots' as many as three times.

<p>Hollywood legend Tom Hanks and his co-star Austin Butler recently came together for a talk show and together they promoted their upcoming&nbsp;movie 'Elvis'. During the fun conversation, Hanks took a trip down memory lane and spoke about his dinner meeting with the Queen and the Obamas.</p>

<p>He&nbsp;revealed that the Queen’s drink of choice is a martini and he learned this fact while sitting next to her at the&nbsp;dinner table.</p>

<p>On the BBC’s The One Show, Hanks said, “The chit chat with The Queen is something that you’ve got to get ready for. I knew I was going to be sat next to her and so I wanted to be able to talk about things that were of import but not presumptuous."</p>

<p>"Out of nowhere, I noticed this gloved hand place a tumbler of clear liquid between me and Her Royal Majesty. But it was not in a water glass."</p>

<p>“It was a clear liquid and so I dared to ask the Queen, ‘and what is Your Majesty’s cocktail of choice?’, and she said, ‘ooh, martini!’.</p>

<p>“She had the one, that’s what she nursed throughout the course of the night, and I think, well, she’s had a wonderful reign so maybe if I were to polish up my game a bit I’ll start to drink martinis,” Hanks concluded.</p>

<p>Interestingly, the 65-year-old is reportedly a descendant of King John of England which makes&nbsp;him a distant cousin to the Queen. However, Hanks has only interacted once with the Queen.</p>

<p>Hanks made his acting debut in 1980&nbsp;with the horror film 'He Knows You're Alone'.&nbsp;After giving several hits in the 1980s, Hanks became one of the world's biggest actors in the 1990s.</p>

Tom Hanks reveals Queen Elizabeth's 'cocktail of choice' during 'Elvis' promotions

<p>Is Tom Hanks following Queen Elizabeth?<br />
<br />
The internet went into a frenzy zone recently when an image of Queen Elizabeth went viral. The picture shows royal highness at the inauguration ceremony of an Elizabeth train line in the honour of the Platinum Jubilee in London, UK.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
But it was not Elizabeth who grabbed the netizen's eyes, but the blurry person who was captured in the picture.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The person who is sneaking from the door has an uncanny resemblance to Tom Hanks's iconic character Forest Gump and that's what started the debate.&nbsp;</p>

Simpsons had predicted 'The Matrix Resurrections' Christmas release 15 years ago “We are stronger than we were a year ago today,” says Hanks in the video. The Academy Award-winning actor had also participated in inauguration celebrations for Biden last year. Biden too appears in the ad as he agrees with the actor in the video and claims that he’s “never been more optimistic about America’s future.”

'The Simpsons' predicted Tom Hanks' appearance in a promotional govt advertisement years ago

<p>Hollywood star Tom Hanks recently revealed that Jeff Bezos, the billionaire founder of Amazon, had offered to fly him to space before William Shatner, but Hanks joked that he would have to pay if he had said yes.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Hanks recently appeared on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' where he was asked about rumours that Bezos offered to fly him to space before William Shatner.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
There, the Hollywood A-lister confirmed the rumour." And, you know, it costs, like 28 million bucks or something like that...and I`m doing good, Jimmy...I`m doing good" but he said he isn`t going to fork over that amount. Shatner reportedly did not have to pay. A news outlet reported last month that the company has not publicly stated a price for a ticket, so it is possible that Hanks was referring to the auction price for one of the seats.</p>

Tom Hanks crashes a wedding, his second in five years!

<p>Los Angeles is finally getting a museum for movies -- and it's about time, said Tom Hanks, as he welcomed journalists to a special pre-opening event Tuesday.</p>

<p>The world capital of filmmaking and home of Hollywood boasts museums for everything from natural history to selfies, but until now has never had one dedicated to the silver screen.</p>

<p>After decades of delays, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures opens to the public next week.</p>

<p>"It matters for Los Angeles to have this film museum," said double-Oscar winner Hanks, who serves as a trustee.</p>

<p>"We all know that films are made everywhere in the world, and they are wonderful films. And there are other cities with film museums.</p>

<p>"But with all due respect, a place like Los Angeles, created by the Motion Picture Academy... this museum has really got to be the Parthenon of such places."</p>

<p>Upon opening, the museum -- run by the Oscar-awarding Academy -- will be the largest film-dedicated museum in North America.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Drawing on some $390 million funding from Hollywood institutions old and new -- including Disney, Warner and Netflix -- and beyond, the building was designed by famed architect Renzo Piano.</p>

<p>Piano reworked a historic 1930s department store to house the museum's main galleries.</p>

<p>He added the gleaming, orb-shaped David Geffen Theater, which appears to hover above the museum's courtyard, inviting some obvious comparisons to the "Star Wars" films.</p>

<p>"Don't call this the Death Star!" joked Piano, at Tuesday's press conference.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Call it the Zeppelin. A Zeppelin to take you [to] a different world."</p>

<p>The museum presents a broad overview of more than a century of motion pictures from around the world.</p>

<p>Modern Tinseltown treasures include costumes from "Bram Stoker's Dracula," an orc from "The Lord of the Rings," the amphibian man from "The Shape of Water," and "Star Wars" droids C-3PO and R2-D2.</p>

<p>Older heirlooms include a "Rosebud" sled from "Citizen Kane," regularly named the best film ever made.</p>

<p>Only three wooden sleds were ever made -- on set, director Orson Welles wasn't happy with the first take, but wrapped filming after the second was thrown onto a furnace for the film's climactic scene, meaning the third survived.</p>

<p>"Do we need a movie museum? Yeah. Because we need to celebrate everything that this town has brought to the world," said Hanks.</p>

<p>The museum's temporary space opens with an exhibition of Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki's work, leading visitors through a "tree tunnel" inspired by classic "My Neighbor Totoro" to see sketches of flying castles and early character designs.</p>

<p>"We want to bring through all of the international and diverse stories of moviemaking through our galleries," museum director Bill Kramer told AFP.</p>

<p>After a star-studded opening gala Saturday, the museum opens to the public on September 30.</p>

<p>With Valentine’s Day weekend hitting us with a void as the coronavirus pandemic continues to play a spoilsport, Tom Hanks starrer ‘News of the World’ is something that one could stream as a leisure watch. A slow burn for most parts, this one is for those who enjoy Tom Hanks doing his magic on the screen but alas this needs a taste and lots of patience to survive the entire run.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Based in the post<strong> Civil War phase of America,</strong> <strong>Tom Hanks</strong> plays his paternal best to a young orphan girl who was kidnapped by Red Indians and now identifies herself as one of them as she has forgotten her parents and family and has no home. On a mission to find the girl a home, Tom Hanks traverses through the Western side of the country to reach her last surviving family but that’s not where the story ends.&nbsp;</p>

<p>‘News of the World’ explores the relationship between two strangers who meet accidentally as their paths and futures align surprisingly. Co-written and directed by Paul Greengrass, the film makes you feel bad for both the orphan (Helena Zengel) and Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd (Tom Hanks) while anticipating the end shown in the climax as they journey some miles together in ‘search for a home’. Fighting off scoundrels and looters on the way, Tom Hanks gives it his all in ‘News of the World’ but the screenplay sort-of limits him to a linear role.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Helena Zengel is fantastic as the orphan girl, acting her age -- boorish and defiant in most parts, strong and mindful in others. She matches Tom in every frame, not leaving a scene where she is taken over by Hanks’ towering personality on screen. She’s an actor to look out for.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film captures America and its rustic state of Texas in that time period of history craftly. A little more pace would have done the film some good.&nbsp;</p>

'News of the World' review: A slow burn, watch it for lead cast Tom Hanks-Helena Zengel

<p>When award-winning actor Tom Hanks announced his Covid-19 diagnosis last year on March, many Americans were still learning about the virus and its severity. However, Hanks` social media posts shaped people`s behaviour toward the virus, a new study suggests.<br />
<br />
The researchers, including Jessica Gall Myrick from the Pennsylvania State University in the US, surveyed around 700 people about their attitudes and behaviours toward the virus the day after Hanks posted the news on social media on March 11, 2020.<br />
<br />
Just under 90 per cent of the people surveyed had heard about Hanks` social media posts saying he contracted the virus, and approximately half of that group reported it changed their attitudes and behaviours.<br />
<br />
"There is a growing body of research about how celebrity behaviour and social media posts can affect public health," Myrick said in the study published in the journal Health Communication.<br />
<br />
"Celebrities can have a huge reach, often more so than typical scientists or doctors or the health department. If they are encouraging positive health behaviour change, then it can serve as a de facto public health intervention," Myrick added.<br />
<br />

When award-winning actor Tom Hanks announced his Covid-19 diagnosis last year on March, many Americans were still learning about the virus and its severity. However, Hanks` social media posts shaped people`s behaviour toward the virus, a new study suggests.

When award-winning actor Tom Hanks announced his Covid-19 diagnosis last year on March, many Americans were still learning about the virus and its severity. However, Hanks` social media posts shaped people`s behaviour toward the virus, a new study suggests. The researchers, including Jessica Gall Myrick from the Pennsylvania State University in the US, surveyed around 700 people about their attitudes and behaviours toward the virus the day after Hanks posted the news on social media on March 11, 2020. Just under 90 per cent of the people surveyed had heard about Hanks` social media posts saying he contracted the virus, and approximately half of that group reported it changed their attitudes and behaviours. "There is a growing body of research about how celebrity behaviour and social media posts can affect public health," Myrick said in the study published in the journal Health Communication. "Celebrities can have a huge reach, often more so than typical scientists or doctors or the health department. If they are encouraging positive health behaviour change, then it can serve as a de facto public health intervention," Myrick added. According to the study, the people who had heard the news reported Hanks` diagnosis "highlighted the reality of Covid-19" and broadened their understanding of not only the severity of the situation but also their susceptibility to the illness. Nearly half of the participants who had heard the news when surveyed reported a range of emotional responses, according to the study. Responses included "surprise, fear, anger, sadness and hope." The respondents who reported making changes said Hanks` disclosure inspired them to seek more information and/or take stricter precautions. The half of respondents who heard the news and said Hanks` diagnosis did not change their thoughts or behaviours reported thinking the actor would recover from the illness. They also noted they were already aware of Covid-19 and its effects and did not think Hanks` announcement changed their outlook or intentions regarding the virus. The researchers conducted a statistical analysis to see if and what characteristics could predict whether people`s attitudes and behaviours changed after learning Hanks` diagnosis. The results indicated that people who identified with Hanks or said they knew him were more likely to change their thoughts or Covid-related behaviours due to the announcement.

Tom Hanks to host televised special for Joe Biden's inauguration

<p>Hollywood star Tom Hanks has weighed in on the discussion surrounding the future of cinema halls post COVID-19 pandemic.<br />
<br />
The actor feels the shift to the streaming world is a due change and says that movie theatres will survive the pandemic.<br />
<br />
In an interview with Collider, Hanks spoke&nbsp;about the impact of the pandemic on the entertainment business, and the shift of many films&nbsp;on streaming services.<br />
<br />
"A sea change was due, anyway. It was coming, "Hanks said, sharing that the streaming platforms have allowed viewers to watch movies from their homes.<br />
<br />
"Will movie theatres still exist? Absolutely, they will. In some ways, I think the exhibitors -- once they`re up and open -- are going to have the freedom of choice of what movies they`re going to play," Hanks shared.<br />
<br />
Hanks believes theatres will remain to be the go-to release option for big-budget franchises.<br />

<br />
He said: "Big event motion pictures are going to rule the day at the cinemas. `News of the World` might be the last adult movie about people saying interesting things that are going to play on a big screen somewhere, because after this, in order to guarantee that people show up again, we`re going to have the Marvel Universe and all sorts of franchises."<br />

Hanks continued: "You want to see them (franchise films) writ large because watching them at home on your couch actually might diminish them somehow in their visual punch. But the sea change that has been brought by Covid-19 has been a slow train coming. I think there will be an awful lot of movies that will only be streamed, and I think it will be fine to see them that way because they will actually be built and made and constructed for somebody`s pretty good widescreen TV at their home."</p>
