Hey folks, Harry here... This is and ENEMY AT THE GATES are the two... "We haven't heard from anyone that has seen them, but we know they're going to be great cause we can feel it in our bones" movies. Now.. Unlike ENEMY AT THE GATES... which is just a gut feeling, I've read the script for CASTAWAY, talked with people that worked with Zemeckis on the film... and I have heard from one person that saw all of the pre-diet Hanks footage editted together and said that the movie was looking great at that point. Now... I know, at this point, the unfortunate success of SURVIVOR makes this film look like it is coming in to capitalize on that show's success... but quite frankly... Everything that we all hoped to see when we first heard the earliest word on Survivor... well, that's what CASTAWAY is. You will see a man go from being as connected and on the fly as you and me... and you'll see all of those tools taken away from him. You'll see him begin to go mad... or even go completely insane. If Hanks can pull this acting job off... this could very well be one of the great films. The script is there... so is the filmmaker... everything hinges on his performance though. I can not wait!
Hi Harry,
I just found this still from 'Cast Away' in the latest enquirer, ( I don't buy the thing myself but it was in doctors waiting room and I knocked it off his coffee table while I was reaching for 'popular scientist' and it fell open on this page ).
I'm really looking forward to this one. Zemekis ROCKS.
