Tom Hanks Pays Tribute to Paul Newman
Originally posted 09/30/2008 05:15PM
Tom Hanks released a statement Tuesday remembering his Road to Perdition costar Paul Newman, who died at age 83:
"Paul Newman told me his hotel in Chicago was a room at the YMCA, which was not hard to imagine. He considered himself just another member of the acting company, who would call his wife during breaks and confess to feeling self-conscious on the first day of shooting. But he was Paul Newman, and could not mask the fact he was simply – yet elegantly – an extraordinary artist and man. How lucky we all have been."

Vatican Bans Tom Hanks from Filming in Churches
Originally posted 06/17/2008 09:15AM
The Vatican has a clear message to Tom Hanks and his costars in the new Da Vinci Code movie: "Keep out."
The diocese of Rome has banned Angels and Demons from filming inside its churches because the movie "does not conform to our views," says spokesman Monsignor Marco Fibbi.
Angels and Demons is a prequel to 2006's Da Vinci Code – also starring Hanks and also based on a Dan Brown best-seller – which controversially claimed that Jesus Christ married Mary Magdalene and had children.

Tom Hanks Lends a Hand to an Italian Wedding
Originally posted 06/12/2008 06:00PM
Tom Hanks to the rescue! The double Oscar winner, 51, in Rome to film the Da Vinci Code sequel Angels & Demons, realized that the production had closed down a significant portion of the town serving as the movie location – including streets surrounding the church where a wedding was to take place. Hanks's solution? Stepping in and personally escorting the bride to the church – though certainly stopping short of walking her down the aisle.

Scaling back awards shows and replacing the Golden Globes with a press conference in light of the Hollywood writers strike isn't sitting well with Tom Hanks.

Tom, Julia & Their Spouses: After the Premiere
Originally posted 12/11/2007 05:00PM
Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts's new movie Charlie Wilson's War was shown in at least 14 theaters at the Universal City Walk Cineplex Monday night. And after the screenings let out, Hanks was spotted, still holding wife Rita Wilson's hand, politely introducing his mother to a group of friends with the security detail forming a loose ring around the group.
Roberts, in a snug, knee-length, black Dolce & Gabbana cocktail gown, was spotted with hubby Danny Moder as they made their way through the crowded lobby. Moder had his hands on Julia's hips as they walked, forming what one onlooker dubbed "a lovey-dovey Conga line for two."

Tom Hanks in Talks for The Da Vinci Code
Originally posted 11/15/2004 08:00AM
CAST: Despite some rumblings that the role would go to Russell Crowe, and novelist Dan Brown's own description of his hero as looking like Indiana Jones in tweeds, Tom Hanks is being asked to play scholarly supersleuth Robert Langdon in Ron Howard and Brian Grazer's movie version of the runaway bestseller, The Da Vinci Code. Variety and the Hollywood Reporter say the movie starts shooting next year. Hanks, 48, also made 1995's Apollo 13 with the director and producer, and 1984's Splash! with Howard. The search for the actress to play Langdon's French love interest is still underway.
