“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,” the Oscar winner said.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

After almost 30 years in Hollywood, Tom Hanks has four films he deems worthy of being \u201cpretty good.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Academy Award winner who has starred in everything from \u201cForrest Gump\u201d to \u201cElvis\u201d announced his upcoming novel, \u201cThe Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece,\u201d out May 9, 2023. The book is a fictional story about the making of a multi-million dollar superhero movie and the comic book creation that inspired it.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one knows how a movie is made \u2014 though everyone thinks they do,\u201d Hanks told People. \u201cI’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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hanks added, \u201cMovie-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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hanks previously shared that the idea for a potential sequel to \u201cForrest Gump\u201d was shut down almost immediately after the success of the first film, which is presumably in his top four \u201cpretty good\u201d film list.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will say that, with a long time in between, we did take a stab at talking about another ‘Forrest Gump’ that lasted all of 40 minutes,\u201d Hanks shared. \u201cAnd then we never, we said, ‘Guys, come on.’\u201d<\/p>\n

In the era of multiple sequels, reboots, and requels, Hanks added that there is no \u201cobligation\u201d to reprise his famed role of Forrest after the 1994 original movie, during which he also paid out of pocket for select scenes like Forrest’s iconic run across america<\/p>\n

\u201cA smart thing I did is I’ve never signed a contract that had a contractual obligation to a sequel,\u201d Hanks said. \u201cI’ve always said, ‘Guys, if there’s a reason to do it, let’s do it. But you guys can’t force me.’ There is that natural inclination that is one of pure commerce that says, ‘Hey, you just had a hit, so do it again, and you’ll have a hit.’\u201d<\/p>\n
