New Tom Hanks Movie

Tom Hanks has been causing trouble for the Mormon Church in recent years through his HBO series “Big Love.” The series – which Tom Hanks makes – depicts a fictional polygamist family in Utah.
The problem is that the show creates the impression that the people are Mormons.
Then he went political, and made reference to a recent vote in California that essentially banned both gay marriage and polygamy.
“And the truth is,” Tom Hanks said, “a lot of Mormons gave a lot of money to the church to make Prop-8 happen.
“There are a lot of people who feel that is un-American, and I am one of them.”
Let’s correct the record. Nobody gave anything to the church to “make” Proposition 8 “happen.” Rather, a great many Mormons donated money to a political fund and volunteered their time to help pass Proposition 8. They did this shoulder to shoulder with Roman Catholics, the evangelical group Focus On The Family, and any number of black and Latino churches.
That’s all the Mormons did.
And that’s what “a lot of people” Tom Hanks knows consider “un-American.”
“And I,” he said, “am one of them.”
So Tom Hanks considers giving money to a political campaign, and volunteering time, un-American?
That’s odd. And hypocritical.
Because Tom Hanks is himself a frequent and large contributor to political causes and campaigns.
Let’s look at the numbers.
Tom Hanks gave $28,500 to Barack Obama last year. And he gave Al Franken $10,000. He also donated to a liberal campaign fund called Midwest Values PAC.
The year before that, he gave other tens of thousands of dollars to Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Al Franken. In earlier years, he has donated to John Kerry and Patrick Kennedy.
And he’s never given a dime to a Republican.
So Tom Hanks has the right to donate very large amounts of money to liberal causes, but individual Mormons – contributing dramatically less per person – are “un-American” for donating to a conservative cause?
How does that work?
How is that anything other than a clear example of the arrogant superiority of the Hollywood liberal elite? A group of American citizens dare to disagree with them politically, and exercise their rights, and they are denounced.
That’s crazy.
Or, as Forrest Gump said and Tom Hanks proved: “Stupid is as stupid does.”

Tom Hanks did apologize for his comment, but shortly afterward, in his show " Big Love" he depicted a scene , (sacred to Mormons) made to look like things that take place in the Mormon Temple. His apology seemed short lived. Seems like maybe he has a little gripe with Mormons. That is why, I will NOT be supporting this new upcoming movie with Tom Hanks or any other movie with Tom Hanks.
