899 — Imagine This: In a modern universe, what would be your MC’s screen name (gamer tag or online alias)?

Just finished reading an advance review copy of 'On the Set of Forrest Gump', written by producer Steve Starkey and forwarded by Tom Hanks. The book explores the movie mostly from a filmmaking angle, going behind-the-scenes on the creative process, the practical and visual effects that made certain scenes possible, and discussing the intentional changes they made from Winston Groom's 1986 novel.

The book is coming out March 17, 2026. Full thoughts here:

Above him there is the title of the book: "On the set of Forrest Gump" and the credits: Steve Starkey, Forwarded by Tom Hanks.
