Tom Hanks: I’ve only made “four pretty good” movies in decades-long career

“No one knows how a movie is made — though everyone thinks they do”

Newsroom September 27 10:11

After almost 30 years in Hollywood, Tom Hanks has four films he deems worthy of being “pretty good.”

The Academy Award winner who has starred in everything from “Forrest Gump” to “Elvis” announced his upcoming novel, “The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece,” out May 9, 2023. The book is a fictional story about the making of a multi-million dollar superhero film and the comic book creation that inspired it.

“No one knows how a movie is made — though everyone thinks they do,” Hanks told People. “I’ve made a ton of movies (and four of them are pretty good, I think) and I’m still amazed at how films come together. From a flicker of an idea to the flickering image onscreen, the whole process is a miracle.”

Hanks added, “Movie-making is very hard work over a very long period of time that consists of so many moments of joy slapped up against an equal number of feelings of self-loathing. It is the greatest job in the world and the most confounding of labors that I know of.”
