Thursday 21st October 2004 The Polar Express Update:
No doubt this will be a huge hit at the Cinema this Christmas. But I'm pretty certain that there's going to be nothing in it for anyone above the age of 10. Which is rather unusual for a Tom Hanks movie, especially when it reteams him with his Castaway director Robert Zemeckis. It gets released in the US on 10th November and the UK on 3rd December.

Wednesday 2nd April 2003: The Polar Express Update:
Production has been halted on Tom Hank's new film, The Polar Express,
because of the death of his co-star, the Emmy and Tony Award-winning
character actor Michael Jeter. Jeter, who also co-starred with Hanks in The
Green Mile, playing a condemned man, disclosed in 1997 that he had tested
positive for the AIDS virus HIV. Studio sources say he had completed most of
his scenes in The Polar Express and a stand-in will be used for the rest.

Sunday 12th January 2003: The Polar Express Update:
Tom Hanks has revealed that he will be playing 20 roles in the soon to be filming The Polar Express. This is what he had to say "I will play the Conductor and maybe 19 other roles. I don't know how Bob is doing it exactly. Bob gets his teeth into something and spins around like a dervish and we all try to hang on."

Thursday 9th January 2003: The Polar Express Update:
Filming on Tom Hank's next movie The Polar Express will start on February 3rd this year and just joined the cast is Eddie Deezen.

Tuesday 3rd December 2002: The Polar Express Update:
Further to earlier news that all the backgrounds will be digital, it has been announced that the characters will be digitised to a proportion as well. The characters will be designed to look like their voice counterparts to the point where a flashback of Hanks's character as a young boy will be a virtual model using Hanks' current facial and muscle structure combined with photos from his younger days to create the visual look. The budget is thought to be in the ballpark of $150 million.

Tuesday 3rd December 2002: The Polar Express Update:
Looks like Robert Zemeckis is planning major innovations with The Polar Express with the announcement that all the scenes will be filmed in front of a blue screen with the sets being added in by CG. All the actors will be covered in motion capture sensors so that each move of an arm, each flicker of an eyelid and each wrinkle of a lip will be stored on a computer and used as guide for the digital animators who will create the actual movie footage.

Monday 30th September 2002: Polar Express Update:
Tom Hanks has inked a deal to star in Polar Express. Polar Express will be an adaptation of the children's novel by Chris Van Allsburg. Directing will be Robert Zemeckis for Castle Rock. Writing are Robert Zemeckis and William Broyles.
