Bloke gets washed up on desert island. That’s pretty much it.

Idea Meeting: “Okay guys, you’re going to love this. We’re going to get Tom Hanks to put on loads of weight, stick him on a desert island, tell him to take his top off and shoot him getting skinnier and skinnier.

Oh, and there are no girls on the island. But there will be product placement, don’t worry. We’ll just get stuff to wash ashore or whatever. We haven’t thought that part through, we’ll think of something better before we start shooting.

One more thing – Hanks will talk to a volleyball because he’s developed a personality disorder. This thing will make $424,000,000 easily.

Startling Fact: Cast Away made more than American Pie and The Bourne Identity combined.
