Playtone partners Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman are partnering with Sidney Kimmel Entertainment's Sidney Kimmel to produce The Great Buck Howard, starring Colin Hanks.

The Hollywood Reporter says Kevin Kline is in talks to join Hanks in the movie, which follows the foibles of a down-on-his-luck magician/illusionist and his assistant as they re-invigorate his career.

Tom Hanks will make a special appearance in the film playing his son Colin's on-screen father.

The project is to be directed by Sean McGinly (Two Days) from his screenplay, with pre-production scheduled to begin in June and principal photography in September.

Playtone is also in production on The Ant Bully, starring Nicolas Cage, Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep, a CGI-animated feature for Warner Bros. Pictures.

thanks for the new thread

Wow, we're already on the second thread and this movie haven't even come out yet

**Sternbetrachter** · 05-11-2007, 07:39 AM

I think we were also rather fast with the KK thread before it came out

this one is supposed to come out in autumn, I've heard ... lets hope it's true!

**life_style** · 05-12-2007, 09:28 AM

Well, that is true.

Let's hope that's the case! It would be awesome

**Sternbetrachter** · 05-12-2007, 09:50 AM

oh damn, we're using the h-word again

I'm sure we'll learn more soon about the movie

**life_style** · 05-12-2007, 10:04 AM

Yes, that might be plausible

**Sternbetrachter** · 05-12-2007, 10:15 AM

I so am praying that we get to see some "making of" scenes with Colin and Tom - especially ones that are ruined somehow by one of them starting to laugh/mocking the other

**life_style** · 05-13-2007, 02:33 PM

Aaaw, that would be adorable, and very funny (or so I could imagine)

**Sternbetrachter** · 05-18-2007, 09:40 AM

I hope they have such scenes ... especially now that I watched the trailer for Careless and saw Tony S. playing Colin's dad - I hope Tom can compete with that

Still no label, but they have a film

CLAP Your Hands Say Yeah knows from potentially self-sabotaging career decisions. The screwy indie-pop band remains intentionally label-less two years after its self-titled independent debut set the blogosphere aflame. The group followed with the darker and more textured "Some Loud Thunder" all on its lonesome.

So it makes sense that the quintet's first big-screen appearance is in "The Great Buck Howard," a film about a young scamp ditching grad school to apprentice with a fading magician. The band members are contributing original songs to the score and play themselves in a scene shot recently at the Marriott in Marina del Rey. They appear as the house band at a hotel lounge where stars Colin Hanks and Emily Blunt are having a reflective moment.

"It should be the easiest thing to do, to play yourself," said singer Alec Ounsworth, before the shoot. "But it feels more like we'll be playing ourselves playing ourselves. I'm leaning towards pretending there aren't cameras there."

The band is in good company on the film's list of "as themselves" cameos, joining "Star Trek's" George Takei. Ounsworth didn't expect to run into the film's other costars, Tom Hanks and John Malkovich, while on the set, but the wild-haired, slightly unhinged vocalist does have an idea about who he'd want to play himself if he were unavailable.

"Jack Nicholson," he said. "I think he'd do a great job."

Thanks for the news, Trude

**Sternbetrachter** · 05-19-2007, 02:30 PM

it confuses me a bit though - imdb says the movie is post-production and while I know that imdb isn't always right ... it is ... confusing

**life_style** · 05-20-2007, 10:19 AM

are you sure the news aren't old?

**Sternbetrachter** · 05-20-2007, 10:22 AM

yes pretty much, we only recently learned that the band is involved
