Tom Hanks forced his way into his son’s new movie

Tom Hanks forced his way into his son’s new movie.
The Oscar winner was so impressed with the script for ‘The Great Buck
Howard’ he decided he wanted to play his son Colin’s onscreen dad whether he
liked it or not.
Tom, 52, said: “I selfishly attached myself as the dad. I didn't even ask
Colin, I just said, 'Hey listen, I'd like to play the dad.’ He kind of
rolled his eyes and said, 'Well yeah, I can see why.' And that was that."
The movie - which also stars British actress Emily Blunt and premiered in
New York this week - tells the story of a young man who accepts a job as the
assistant to a jaded illusionist, played by John Malkovich.
Emily plays a pushy publicist in the film and admits she learnt a lot about
how to portray her character from her own experiences in the movie industry.
She said: “I see a lot of PR people at photo shoots and the red-carpet
events where they are flapping around their clients. Mine, Rupert, certainly
is never like that. But I've been witness to that sort of thing. I did steal
from a few situations I've been in or been witness to."
