Tom Hanks is once again collaborating with director Robert Zemeckis to finally create the much awaited sequel to their 1994 flick.

After &#8216;Here,&#8217; Tom Hanks and Robert Zemeckis Shook Hands For Long Awaited Movie Sequel

When one hears the names of Tom Hanks and Robert Zemeckis together, they perhaps
get a flashback of at least four films that they did together that went on to
become a blockbuster. For all we know, Hanks to Zemeckis is what Arnold
Schwarzenegger is to James Cameron. Whenever the duo works together, we are
certain to get something interesting.

The Cast Away director and actor are currently working on their 5th movie
together, named Here. However, what interests us is the announcement of their
sixth movie together. It is a sequel to their most beloved, 1994 movie, which
not only has a cult classic following but has won 6 Academy awards including
Best Picture and Best Actor for Tom Hanks. Yes! You guessed it right. They are
finally collaborating for the much-awaited and long-planned sequel to their
comedy-drama, Forrest Gump.

The news notably came via Giant Freakin Robot,
[https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/forrest-gump-2-tom-hanks.html] which
states that the production process will begin as soon as they wrap up their
current project. The sequel was notably in talks since as early as 2001 when
Eric Roth penned the script with Winston Groom’s 1995 follow-up novel Gump and
Co. as his source material. However, following the September 11 attacks, they
did not proceed with the plan and found it “irrelevant” to create the sequel
then. But it seems like their thoughts have changed over time and almost two
decades later, Tom Hanks will once again play the role of Forrest Gump.

Even though they may have to highly alter the primary source but, the news has
it that they will tag the follow-up novel as their primary source.


EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FORREST GUMP STARRING TOM HANKS

The original film followed the life of Forrest Gump, a simple man with a low IQ,
who unwittingly becomes a part of some of the most significant events in
American history. Throughout the film, Forrest unwittingly becomes a part of
some of the most significant events in American history, including meeting
President Kennedy, playing ping-pong in China, and inspiring the famous “Shit
Happens” bumper sticker.



Forrest Gump is a heartwarming and inspiring film that explores themes of love,
friendship, and the power of perseverance. It is a wisely goofy commentary on
the stupidity of smartness and the sequel will perhaps render justice to its
original American staple film.
