Ever since Castaway Tom Hanks has been stuck in nothing but serious pictures. Every time someone does an interview with Tom he's absolutely hilarious. Beyond Toy Story, it's just Hollywood calling up good ol' reliable Tom Hanks for another dramatic role. I would just love to see him return to his roots. The man is a national treasure and he deserves the chance to make people laugh, once again in all his interviews its quite clear that he just has fantastic comedic timing and wit.
Edit: People mentioning his classic comedies, yes guys thats what i'm talking about. But have a look at his imdb filmography. The best he had for "comedy" anywhere even in memory was the lady killers and that movie is damn near 20 years old. Somebody get a funny f*cking script into Toms hands please. Me and the few who agree with me in anonymous internet forums demand it!
