Oscar winners Tom Hanks and Robert Zemeckis are now moving forward on the long-gestating space feature Major Matt Mason, which would have Hanks set to star with Zemeckis directing.
"I started tinkering with the story after Larry Crowne," said Hanks, who co-wrote the astronaut screenplay alongside Graham Yost (Speed).
Based on a toy from 1966 (prior to the moon landing), Major Matt Mason takes place on the moon and follows a team of people based at a space station. Said Yost of the film, "There's no bad guys. There are no aliens. Nothing like that. It's just, can you survive?"
The project will mark a reunion for Hanks and Zemeckis, who have teamed on a number of movies including Forrest Gump, Cast Away, and The Polar Express.
