20 分钟Hi Tom, it's really nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Over the glories of zoom.
I'm looking forward to talking about your book, which I read.
I want you to know I read and really enjoyed.
Isn't it funny how that you have to make that announcement sometimes?
Hey listen, I'm gonna talk about your movie which I saw.
This is in conversation from Apple News.
I'm Shemitah Basu.
Today, Tom Hanks on what it takes to make a movie.
Tom Hanks has been making movies for almost 50 years.
But if you ask him, he's not the star, or at least not the only star of the show.
The making of a movie is not about some individual vision.
It's not even about the laser like attention of the director or the screenwriter or anybody in it.
That movie is made by an awful lot of people who using their expertise and their taste and their, you know, their practice talents, solve one problem after another.
This is the foundational idea behind Tom Hanks debut novel called the making of another major motion picture masterpiece.
It tells the fictional but based on some truth story of how a multi, multimillion dollar superhero movie gets made.
Literally every part of it.
The comic book that inspires the movie, the casting of its stars, the grueling days on set.
I caught up with Tom before SAG aftra, the union that represents actors, decided to strike joining the writers union.
