SciFi heaven has managed to drop a HUGE bombshell on Trek fans around the world. According to an unnamed source on their website, Tom Hanks (pictured) has been rumored to have been penned as a possible star for Erik Jendresen’s script Star Trek: The Begining should it be chosen by Paramout for production.
While the rumor can't be confirmed, and the authenticity is definately in qestion, IF the information does prove to be true, this might be just the situation to re-energize the much loved 40 year old franchise.
Mr. Hanks, who produced, and directed the sreries From Earth To The Moon has shown a love for space exploration, and long cemented himself as a household name with 4 Oscars and a list of movie credits thast includes some of the biggest stars in Hollywood. His next movie, The DaVinci Code is a highly anticipated release that is attracting attention around the world.
If the information holds out to be true, then this could just send a message to 'The Powers That Be' in Hollywood that Trek is an impratant franchise the world over, and it's time to take notice. Mr. Hanks can littterally punch his own ticket for any film venue he wishes to perform in. Hopefully, we can see his craft at work within the realm of a franchise that could use a boost after the events of 2005.
