Starbucks saves Tom Hanks' life
Hanks will star in the inspiring comedy drama 'How Starbucks Saved My Life'.
Mar 28 2006
Tom Hanks projects are appearing with alarming regularity at the moment, and this week is no exception.
Hanks is apparently attached to star in 'How Starbucks Saved My Life', based on a book (which incidentally has yet to be written) about a former executive whose life hits the skids when he loses his job.
Based on Michael Gates Gill's own experience, the character ends up with a job at his local branch of Starbucks, and his life is given new purpose.
Gill's 102-page outline of the story was good enough to attract Hanks, while Gus Van Sant ('Good Will Hunting', 'Finding Forrester') has signed up to direct.
