Tom Hanks has starred in nearly 100 movies but thinks only four of them are “pretty good,” he said in a new interview with People. Which? Well, it’s a mystery.
“Nobody knows how a movie is made – even if everyone thinks they do,” Hanks said. “I’ve done a ton of movies (and four of them are pretty good, I think), and I’m always amazed at how the movies come together. From the flicker of an idea to the flickering image to the screen, the whole process is a miracle.”
Hanks has helmed some of cinema’s most famous movies over his four-decade career, including “Forest Gump” and “Philadelphia,” both of which won him the Best Actor Oscar. Hanks was also nominated for Oscars for 2020’s ‘Cast Away’, ‘Big’, ‘Saving Private Ryan’ and ‘A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood’. best.
“Filmmaking is very hard work over a very long period of time that consists of so many moments of joy slapped against an equal number of feelings of self-loathing,” he said. “It’s the greatest job in the world and the most confusing job I know.”
Hanks, who this year starred in the box office hit “Elvis” and the live-action remake of Disney’s “Pinocchio,” is gearing up to release his first novel, titled “The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece,” which will be released on May 9, 2023.
