, the full-length follow-up to 2017’s short story collection Uncommon Type, will be published next May. The novel apparently spans 80 years, and concerns a comic book that is eventually adapted into a movie. To accompany the announcement, Hanks released a brief statement, and it is quite profoundly Hanksy.

One movie Hanks definitely isn’t referring to is 1985’s The Man with One Red Shoe. Simultaneously half-baked and overcooked, Hanks has made no secret of his disdain for Stan Dragoti’s spy thriller. As early as 1989 he wasit in the press, telling Playboy that it was “Not a very good movie. It doesn’t have any real, clear focus to it. It isn’t about anything particularly that you can honestly understand. It made no money at all.

Nor is it The Bonfire of the Vanities, the Tom Wolfe adaptation that flopped hard in 1990. Two decades after it was released, Hanksit with Empire, saying of it that “everybody was miscast, me particularly. Brian De Palma deals with iconography more than film-making. He is the most uncompromising film-maker, both in a good way and a bad way, that you’ll ever come across.”

Great, great hair. “And that will conclude the list of things that will appeal.” No, the majority of Americans don’t think this. Find a source more reliable than Megyn Kelly. They keep him alive.
