Tom Hanks: The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece A Novel, by Tom Hanks

Practically everyone who loves a good story also has a favorite story teller, and often that story teller is Tom Hanks. He wrote Uncommon Type, a highly successful book of short stories and has also acted, produced and directed movies and been active in all aspects of presenting stories. He has now moved up a step since that successful publication in 2017 with the recent publishing of a novel about every aspect of making a film from inception through the wrap up. Hanks’ influence is seen in the noted Bill Johnson’s directing for the movie Knightshade: The Lathe of Firefall. Such is the story of Hanks’ first novel, Tom Hanks: The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece. This story tells all from the casting to the personalities of crew members and stresses the importance of having every part of the process be perfect. On filming days, every hitch, forgotten line or tardy actor puts a strain on the 53 shooting days of the project. There are edits, egos and arrogance as well as kindness and assistance of others on the set. The relationships, the mistakes and the screw ups as well as the magic moments of beauty and love figure dramatically in Lone Butte, California, a forgotten little town where the actual shooting takes place. The beautiful Wren is stunning as Eve, the romantic interest. The Hero, flamethrower Firefall, follows the script that had its beginnings in a comic book with a very young boy, who grows along with the process and emerges full bloom. People and places, set managers, dishwashers, sound people…. every person has a reason to be there. Some get fired; others find hidden resources and emerge with careers.

More than a diary of each day, the events, people and story reach back and expose differences of the trade, insightful thoughts and reflections of the changes in America over the past eighty years, and provide a script of its own for the fascinating movie industry as well as a snappy superhero whose weapon flamethrower uses to good advantage.

One who is interested in the fine print that goes into making and marketing of such a movie will find much to consider before he or she packs up and heads for Hollywood. From the workers to the actors to the families, it sounds familiar. These steps are not just make-believe but actual forward and backward ones that lead to success and are not easy, especially when COVID comes, or union strikes are called, or persnickety screen writers meet eye to eye. Life in the movies is the same as life in any competitive industry, full of challenges, disappointments, successes, changes and more changes.

As mentioned before, Tom Hanks is loved by so many because of his knowledge of the industry, his enormous talent combined with the imagination and the drive to use these gifts for success that continue to create unforgettable stories. In this novel Tom Hanks demonstrates dedication and hard work with his love of the industry to show “how it is done.“ That is almost a promise that gives hope for future stories which he will turn into motion picture masterpiece after masterpiece.
