Tom Hanks to do something that doesn't involve freemasonry or war

We all love Tom Hanks. It's scientific. I was reminded of this when TNT caught my eye by running The Road to Perdition off-and-on for a few days. The jowly, one-time Hooch buddy has been laying low lately, popping up only to make the occasional Dan Brown adaptation and executive produce MORE war miniseries. Seriously, if you write a project that has soldiers solving mysteries of freemasonry, Hanks's head will pop like mine when I finally get to that Spider-man write-up I've been promising. So it's good to hear that, according to Mike Fleming, Hanks may be back in a big way. He's going to write, direct, and star in Larry Crowne opposite Julia Roberts who, despite being gorgeous, does totally look like this Afghan hound.

Roberts has been laying quasi-low herself. Thus, I'm pumped that the two may reunite (after Charlie Wilson's War) and attempt to do something that is at least original. Crowne is about a man who "reinvents himself and find a new career." Generi? Yes. Potentially interesting? Sure. 100% freemason free? Trick question. We'll never know. We'll. Never. Know.
