>>> IT WOULD NOT BE SUMMER
>>> IT WOULD NOT BE SUMMER
WITHOUT A BIG BLOCKBUSTER.
GRAB YOUR POPCORN.

MOVIE WRITTEN BY THE
INCOMPARABLE TOM HANKS
>> OKAY.
IT IS A WORLD WAR II DRAMA
CALLED "GREYHOUND.
TOM STARS AS A NAVY CAPTAIN ON A
FIRST VOYAGE AS GERMAN U-BOATS
LURK JUST UNDER THE SURFACE.
>> NEGATIVE, GREYHOUND.
>> VERY WELL
MAINTAIN YOUR STATIONS
GOOD LUCK.
>> A WOLF AMONG US
IT WILL ATTACK AS A GROUP.
>> WE’RE WAITING FOR NIGHT FALL.
WHEN WE CAN SEE NOTHING.
>> LOOK WHO’S HERE
TOM HANKS, COSTARS STEVEN GRAHAM
AND ROB MORGAN
HI, GUYS
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE TOGETHER?
>> GREAT.
>> GREAT
>> FABULOUS.
I LOVE THESE GUYS LOADS.
GOOD TO SEE THEM
ON WHATEVER TECHNOLOGY THE
PEACOCK AT NBC IS USING.
>> WE’RE LIKE THE BRADY BUNCH.
>> WE ARE.
WELL, IT IS GREAT DO SEE YOU
GUYS AND IT’S GREAT THAT YOU
GUYS HAVE THIS MOVIE OUT IN THIS
MOMENT, TOM, BECAUSE NUMBER ONE,
WE ARE JUST EXCITED BECAUSE
WHENEVER THERE’S A BIG TOM HANKS
MOVIE, ADD WORLD WAR II TO IT
AND THEN JUST LIKE THE PERFECT
RECIPE
TELL ME ABOUT YOU AND YOUR
COSTARS.
>> WE WERE -- WE WERE SEEKING
THE GREATEST ACTORS OF THEIR
GENERATIONS WHO ARE GOING TO BE
ABLE TO SELL AN ENTIRE HISTORY
OF THEIR CHARACTER WITH A LOOK,
WITH A SHRUG, WITH A FEW WORDS
OF AN EXCHANGE BETWEEN US.
I HAVE WORKED WITH -- STEVEN
GRAHAM WAS IN "BAND OF BROTHERS"
AND ENTERED INTO THE MARTY
SCORSESE GROUP OF ACTORS, ONE OF
THE FINEST GENTLEMEN OF THE
EARTH.
ROB MORGAN WAS A BLESSING IN AN
EVERY WAY.
A DIFFICULT AND CRYPTIC PART BUT
BUN THAT WAS CARRIED ON WITH A
GREAT HISTORY AND A GREAT
DIGNITY.
WE DID NOT HAVE AN AWFUL LOT OF
TIME TO WORK TOGETHER I MUST
SAY.
IT WAS A HECTIC SHOOT.
BUT WHAT WAS THERE WAS VERY,
VERY CHOICE.
I WAS VERY LUCKY TO BE IN THE
COMPANY OF THESE GENTLEMEN.
>> SO, ROB AND STEPHEN, YOU FIN
OUT THAT TOM HANKS STARS AND IS
A SCREENWRITER
DO YOU GET NERVOUS OR ALL IN
>> IT WAS INSPIRATIONAL.
YOU KNOW
TO SEE TOM DO ALL OF THE
PHENOMENAL WORK HE DOES IN FRONT
OF THE CAMERA AND THEN TO
UNDERSTAND THAT HE HAD THE
ABILITY TO STEP BEHIND THE
CAMERA AND TRANSFORM AN AMAZING
BOOK INTO AN AMAZING SCRIPT IS
INSPIRATIONAL AND LETS YOU KNOW
THAT IT CAN BE DONE BY YOU, TOO.
>> STEPHEN
>> IT’S A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE
TO HAVE THE WRITER ON SET WITH
YOU.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
WHEN WE WOULD BE DOING THE
SCENES, YOU CAN FIND NUANCES
WITH YOUR CHARACTER AND DISCUSS
THEM WITH TOM AND SAY IT’S A
GREAT IDEA OR NOT TOO SURE ABOUT
IT SO IT’S ALWAYS WONDERFUL TO
HAVE THE WRITER WITH YOU AND
SHARE THAT EXPERIENCE WITH YOU.
>> THIS HAS BEEN SUCH A FUNNY
TIME IN OUR COUNTRY.
YOU GUYS ARE PUTTING A MOVIE OUT
WHICH IS I THINK SOMETHING
PEOPLE NEED AND LIFE LESSONS AND
MEANTIME, TOM, YOU CAME BACK
FROM CORONAVIRUS
AND, ROB, YOU WERE JUST
EXPLAINING YOU KNEW SOMEONE
TOUCHED BY IT.
HOW, ROB, HAS THIS IMPACTED YOUR
LIFE
>> OH, IT’S IMPACTED MY LIFE
GREATLY.
I HAVE BECOME A FURLOUGH
EMPLOYEE BUT THANKFULLY I GOT A
CALL THAT MY JOB WILL BE COMING
BACK LATE AUGUST
I HAVE BEEN USING THIS TIME TO
CONTINUALLY WORK ON MY
INSTRUMENT, FIND DIFFERENT WAYS
OF BEING CREATIVE.
THREW MYSELF INTO WRITING.
BUT YES.
IT HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE TO SIT
IN A BROOKLYN APARTMENT AND PAY
OVERPRICED RENT SO THAT’S THE
CHALLENGE THAT’S COMING TO MY
MIND ABOUT
>> TOM, YOU HAVE BEEN AN
INSPIRATION FOR SO MANY DURING
THIS TIME.
I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE ON SOCIAL
MEDIA SAY IT’S BEEN THIS MANY
DAYS SINCE TOM HANKS HAD THE
CORONAVIRUS.
YOU HAVE BEEN STEADFAST IN YOUR
DEDICATION TO THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE
AND I ALSO HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT
YOU AS I HAVE TALKED TO MY
VACUUM CLEANER THROUGHOUT THIS
TIME AND I THINK OTHERS HAVE
THOUGHT ABOUT THE MOVIE
"CASTAWAY" AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH WILSON.
HAVE YOU HAD ANY OF THOSE
MOMENTS WHERE YOU JUST THOUGHT,
GOSH, WE’RE ALONE, I’M GOING TO
TALK TO THIS INNATE OBJECT
>> WELL, I’M GLAD, I’M GLAD YOU
DEVELOPED A HEALTHY PROACTIVE
RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR VACUUM
CLEANER.
I’M WORRIED THAT YOUR DISHWASHER
IS FEELING LEFT OUT.
I WOULD MAYBE WANT TO INVEST SO
TIME THERE IN THE KITCHEN.
I’VE BEEN JUST LIKE EVERYBODY
ELSE WITH CONCERNS THAT GO FAR
BEYOND, YOU KNOW, MY INDIVIDUAL
STATION WHERE THE EXPERIENCES OF
LOCKDOWN IS REALLY I THINK MET
BY THE COMMON PURPOSE THAT WE’RE
ALL IN THIS TOGETHER AND WE
ARE -- THE DIFFICULTIES, THE
ECONOMIC DIFFICULTYS THAT ARE
COMING THAT ARE ALREADY
HAPPENING AND THAT ARE COMING
DOWN THE PIKE ARE -- THESE ARE
WORRIES ON A LEVEL THAT’S MUCH
MORE ABOUT ANY PARTICULAR
SACRIFICE OR DISCOMFORT THAT I
MIGHT FEEL OR THAT WE MIGHT
FEEL
THERE IS A BENEFIT OF INVESTMENT
IN OTHER PEOPLE.
YOU KNOW
I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SPEND AN
AWFUL LOT OF TIME WITH PEOPLE
THAT I LOVE AND I HAVE BROACHED
NEW RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEM.
WE HAVE CROSSED BRIDGES.
WE HAVE BEEN OVER RIVERS
I FEEL LIKE I NOW KNOW MY KIDS
IN WAYS THAT I TYPICALLY WAS NOT
ALLOWED BECAUSE I WAS GONE
WORKING SO MUCH.
>> YEAH.
>> SO ALL YOU CAN DO IS COUNT
YOUR BLESSING AND THINK THIS TOO
SHALL PASS.
>> TOM, WE LOVE YOU.
