The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece by Tom Hanks & R. Sikoryak Book Summary

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • AN NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • From the legendary actor and best-selling author: a novel about the making of a star-studded, multimillion-dollar superhero action film...and the humble comic books that inspired it. Funny, touching, and wonderfully thought-provoking, while also capturing the changes in America and American culture since World War II.

"Wild, ambitious and exceptionally enjoyable." —Matt Haig, best-selling author The Midnight Library, The Humans and Reasons to Stay Alive

Part One of this story takes place in 1947. A troubled soldier, returning from the war, meets his talented five-year-old nephew, leaves an indelible impression, and then disappears for twenty-three years.

Cut to 1970: The nephew, now drawing underground comic books in Oakland, California, reconnects with his uncle and, remembering the comic book he saw when he was five, draws a new version with his uncle as a World War II fighting hero. 

Cut to the present day: A commercially successful director discovers the 1970 comic book and decides to turn it into a contemporary superhero movie.

Cue the cast: We meet the film’s extremely difficult male star, his wonderful leading lady, the eccentric writer/director, the producer, the gofer production assistant, and everyone else on both sides of the camera.

Bonus material: Interspersed throughout are three comic books that are featured in the story—all created by Tom Hanks himself—including the comic book that becomes the official tie-in to this novel’s "major motion picture masterpiece."

Better than I expected. I was curious to see if Tom Hanks can write well, and he does . I like the details. It is interesting to learn about moviemaking and of course he is an expert in the field. His passion for his craft shines through the pages. I like that there were 2 stories- real life and reel life- blended together as only Hollywood can. I wish that I could really see the movie that was “made”! One minor thing, however, is I would have mentioned Covid protocols in the book instead of a side note because it would be too “blah, blah” per the author. We did live through it in that time and should not suppress it because it doesn’t fit the Hollywood narrative.

Stick to acting, Tom . .. I had high hopes for this book, especially after reading about Ernie and his son Robbie. But half way through, the plot went flat. Way too much detail, jumping around . . not a consistent time line. And characters? Again, too many and too much detail. Wondering if the details was just fluff to add to the word count, increasing the total number of pages. Half way through, I deleted the book. Wish I could get my money back. But, I wouldn’t miss any movie with Tom Hanks!

A Love Letter To Art. For the first 40 or so pages I wasn’t totally sure where this was going. Then it all clicked and I just was loving the ride.

Loved it!. Tom Hanks is being criticized for the amount of detail in this novel. But if you are a film fan, it is fascinating to read every single word about the art & the business of movie-making. His characters and their stories are the threads that, woven together, make the reader understand a little about the way things work -or don’t - in Hollywood.
