Playtone Productions, Tom hanks' production company, is planning to develop a movie based on Major Matt Mason, the popular action figure by Mattel. For those who don't him, Major Matt mason is a fictional astronaut who lives and works on the moon.

"The story revolves around Major Matt Mason, an astronaut who lives and works on the Moon."
The film would be based on a script co-written by Tom Hanks, and he's likely to play the lead role. I also heard that Director Robert Zemeckis is in talk to helm the 3D live-action movie. A tentative budget has been set at approximately $100 million.
Let's hope they will come up with a compelling story!
