[post_page_title]Hanks signed on 1 1/2 hours of script-reading[/post_page_title]
Tom Hanks signed on to play the title role of Forrest Gump just one and a half hours after receiving the script. There was something about it that he just immediately connected with and knew that he wanted to be a part of.
He did, however, sign on the dotted line with his own conditions. Hanks agreed to be the movie’s star if, and only if, it was historically accurate and didn’t cut any corners. Good on you, Tom.
