Tom Hanks leaning against a tree in 'Cast Away'
Twenty-four years ago, Tom Hanks became obsessed with a volleyball and so did the world. The year was 2000, and Cast Away became one of those movies that everyone talked about. If somehow you ended up not watching it, never hearing about it, or just feel like giving it a rewatch, you'll be glad to know that the survival drama is hitting Hulu on December 1.
At the time of its release, Cast Away became a hit for several reasons, including curiosity to see Hanks' transformation throughout the story — the actor lost fifty pounds to better convey the appearance of someone malnourished in a hostile environment, and filming took a one-year hiatus after filming all scenes in which Hanks has an average body type so that he could lose weight.
In an interview with Observer, screenwriter William Broyles Jr. revealed that the studio had zero faith in Cast Away, and in a way that was liberating because they thought:"If we’re going to fail, let’s fail with the movie we want to make."
