Tom Hanks in Dreamworks Catch Me If You Can
There is something going on in the Trekkie universe as this is the third rumor about a Star Trek sequel that we have received recently. First we were told that T'Pol would appear in the film (here) and next we were told that it was highly possible that we could even see the return of William Shatner (here).
However, none of these rumors compare to what has appeared online recently. According to Sci Fi Heaven, Tom Hanks is now a possible contender to play some role or other in the next Trek sequel.
New Star Trek Rumors
In one of our last Star Trek updates I already admitted that I was not part of the Trekkie consensus; even though I did love Wrath of Kahn and enjoyed Voyage Home. If Tom Hanks did decide he wanted to appear in a Star Trek film I couldn't really be for or against the move and would instead just see this as a chance for the franchise to pick up a gifted and popular actor.
On the other hand, how weird would it look to see Hanks in the captain's chair?
Rumours have been dropped into the Sci-Fi Heaven news box today of a possible Tom Hanks appearance in the next Star Trek movie. According to our source, should Erik Jendresen’s script be chosen for production (Paramount executives are rumored to still be analyzing the script), Tom Hanks has been penned in as a possible star.
The move would be a dramatic one for “Star Trek XI - The Beginning” and feature perhaps the biggest name to move into the franchise since Patrick Stewart took on the role of Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
So what is left to do in the Star Trek universe? We have already done the final frontier and have befriended some Klingons; what's left? The initial rumor claims that the next Star Trek will feature mirror universes that can cross and intermix. Hmmm, will God appear in this one?
You can next see Tom Hanks in the upcoming adaptation of The Da Vinci Code.
