I choose Tom Hanks to play the role as Tony Marston. Tom Hanks is one of my favorite actors to this day. I’ve watched movies featuring him in them since I was young. I felt as if Tom Hanks could take this role because he is known to become the person he is trying to portray in the movie. Almost as if it was natural to him.

The movie portrayed Forrest Gump in a different way and as sometimes more innocent than his character in the book

His character is a man with an IQ of 75, who during his life, between the years of 1950 and 1980, comes in contact with every major event in American history. And somehow he survives all of these events with only honesty and niceness. “Life is like a box of chocolates.

thought process must have been: We have Hanks -- we have Zemeckis -- who cares? More on this trailer in a moment. But now to the script... The studio may have had high hopes for this film. But I didnt. The last Zemeckis-Hanks extravaganza was FORREST GUMP. A film I felt didnt work. But since so many love it I wont get into the why. Zemeckis is an extremely talented director (he can work that Steadicam like a Kubrick incarnate). But when working with Hanks the person who crafted the swoops and dives
Forrest Gump has a great cast including two times Oscar winner Tom Hanks, Sally Fields, and Robin Wright. In this movie We have a special bond with Tom Hanks which plays Forrest Gump.
