"For more than three decades, he's captivated audiences with rich and playful characters that we've grown to love and admire. As compelling as he is on the silver screen, he's equally so behind the camera as a writer, producer and director. We're honored to include Mr. Hanks with such luminaries as Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Martin Scorsese, and Barbra Streisand to name a few."

Additional upcoming projects include the WWII drama "Greyhound," which he also wrote, the post-apocalyptic "BIOS" and Paul Greengrass' pre-Civil War drama "News of the World."

His other feature credits include the Tom Tykwer, Andy Wachowski and Lana Wachowski film "Cloud Atlas;" Stephen Daldry's "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close;" the animated adventure "The Polar Express," which he also executive produced and which reunited him with director Robert Zemeckis; the Coen brothers' "The Ladykillers;" Spielberg's "The Terminal" and "Catch Me If You Can;" Sam Mendes' "Road to Perdition;" Frank Darabont's "The Green Mile;" Nora Ephron's "You've Got Mail" and "Sleepless in Seattle;" Marshall's "A League of Their Own;" Ron Howard's "Apollo 13;" "The Da Vinci Code;" "Angels & Demons;" "Splash;" "Hologram for a King;" "Inferno;" "Sully;" and the computer-animated blockbusters "Cars," "Toy Story," "Toy Story 2," "Toy Story 3" and "Toy Story 4."

In 1996, Hanks made his successful feature film writing and directing debut with "That Thing You Do," in which he also starred.
