And now — nearly 35 years later — Hanks, 69, is returning to sports genre of cinema with yet another baseball project that's currently experiencing a bidding war in Hollywood, media sources including Deadline report.
Based on a short story by Pulitzer Prize finalist Dave Eggers, The Comebacker was written as a feature by Heller, 46, and is called "a love letter to baseball," Deadline noted on Thursday, March 26 (which happens to be Opening Day for certain Major League Baseball teams). Hanks plays the pitching coach of a major league pitcher whose life is upended when he's hit in the head by a line drive on the mound. His life then changes in all kinds of ways...
Variety also noted that Grammy-winner Bad Bunny and Oscar-nominee Colman Domingo are apparently eyeing roles in the project, though their hypothetical roles remain unclear.
And when it comes to Hanks, fans are thrilled to see him continue to star in buzzy movies. It's hard to believe that earlier this month marked 42 years since his box-office hit Splash was released in theaters, for example. Directed by Ron Howard, the romantic comedy stars Daryl Hannah as a mermaid named Madison, who reunites and falls in love with Allen Bauer (Hanks), whom she saved from drowning 20 years earlier.
