What a disaster - Tom Hanks cast!
Absolute nightmare this.
Love Wes Anderson's films but I simply will not watch anything containing the so called actor Tom Hanks.

Why not?
Personal boycott of Tom Hanks.
Haven't watched anything he's in since Private Ryan and unfortunately, despite loving Wes Anderson, I won't break it to watch this.
Unfortunately Wes Anderson does love recasting the same folks so I may possibly be in bigger trouble in future...
i'll tug....why the boycott? what dont you like about america's dad, Thomas Jeffrey Hanks? You will watch his stuff only before saving private ryan?
shareEh, no. Never really thought about that but I haven't watched any Hanks pre or post Ryan since watching Ryan.
I have however watched and for the most part loved all of Anderson's stuff. But sadly now, that's over.
I see he's also cast Scarlet Johansson and Margot Robbie for this though, so I guess no great loss. He's obviously now operating on a different plane...
OK...BUT WHY DON'T YOU WATCH TOM HANKS MOVIES?...WHAT IS REASON FOR THE BOYCOTT?
shareI just refused to accept his performance in Saving Private Ryan. Walked out the cinema half way through (for the only time in my life) after his clearly deliberately hokey, take me seriously, Oscar baiting church scene. Made me feel ill.
Anyway, never watched anything with him in it since.
Dang you missed a killer ending battle sequence. One of the technically best made films of all time.
shareNormally I would tell posters not to shout but I’m this case the other guy is quite dense. 😜

I was implying they were dense because you had to ask the same question like four times to the point of all caps. 🤷♂️

So FootOfDavros, you still haven't answered the question, you're skipping around it... Why the personal boycott of him! What's he done to you to make you boycott him?!
I have - there's an answer further up. Also I answered this question quite extensively in another thread fairly recently. I'll see if I can find it and post a link...

Probably went into it a bit further than on this thread. Anyway it was a nice discussion for on here as it managed not to turn into a personal slanging match...
>> Haven't watched anything he's in since Private Ryan
So you skipped The Green Mile?
Well, if you didn't make an exception for that one, you probably never will.
No. Haven't seen that either.
What about Asteroid City itself, dis you see it? Not sure if I really missed much with this one. But tbh I wasn't that impressed with Isle Of Dogs or The French Dispatch anyway...

Que?
shareBummer. Well, all directors inevitably decline. Maybe this will be the beginning of his fall.
Also, at least his movies usually have an ensemble cast. Maybe Hanks’ role will be limited.
I feel similar. Just watched the trailer, and the part screams Bill Murray to me.
Tom hanks seems like a nice enough guy. But i only really like the burbs with him.
Maybe it will be ok tho i dunno , looks interesting, but wes Andersons never seems to try something completely out of his wheel house.
I agree. This movie should be classified as disaster corn.
shareYou're not alone. I've always found Hanks to be fairly one dimensional as an actor. He tries to pull of characters and they all fall flat. Never saw what the hype about him was.
shareI've been burned out on the overexposed Hanks for a long time, too, but in this he had a smallish character part and I liked him in it.
