Tom Hanks To Play Politician

The actor will coproduce the film for Universal and work will begin as soon as filming for The Da Vinci Code has wrapped.  No director has been hired as of yet.

In the movie, Hanks plays a congressman nicknamed ‘Good Time Charlie’.  The story begins in the 80s, when the fun-loving politician almost ruins his career when he’s caught with two showgirls in Las Vegas.  However, he survives the scandal and winds up overseeing the most successful operation that the CIA has ever had.
