AN movie with Tom Hanks ?
« on: October 23, 2007, 08:51:06 am »
Has anybody heard of a guy named
Michael Gates Gill ?
He was a bigtime corporate millionaire
who lost his job ,wife ,money and everything.
After all this he finds out he has an Acoustic Nueroma.
At this time in his life he has no money or health insurance so he needs to find
a job with benefits ,obviously.
He got a job at starbucks and now he has
wrote a book called "How Starbucks Saved My Life".
Word on the street is Tom Hanks has already showed interest in
playing the character in a movie.
I personally have no association with any part of this,
I just thought it was interesting.

I'm halfway through the book right now.  I would love to see a movie made of it.  I only picked it up because I'm a Starbucks fanatic and I thought it might be interesting.  I was really surprised when it actually mentioned AN.  I haven't gotten to the part with his surgery yet, but I'm looking forward to reading that.  It's always interesting to see how other people do.  I'm not really a big reader (not enough time), but so far it's well written and keeps your attention even when you have to keep putting it down for whatever reason.

Almost done with the book. A nice light heartwarming book, which happens to feature my favorite coffee ever! Unfortunately, movies just never measure up to the book. This one might with Tom Hanks involved.
