American adaptations of successful foreign films will never go out of style (though it’s always a crapshoot as to whether they’ll actually be any good or not). German Oscar contender Toni Erdmann is getting an American remake, courtesy of Kristen Wiig and Jack Nicholson, and now A Man Called Ove, the bestselling Swedish book adapted last year by Hannes Holm (and nominated for two Academy Awards), is getting remade courtesy of one Tom Hanks.

In all the talk of SNL Season 42's breakout year and political impressions, poor David Pumpkins seems like a world gone-by. Tom Hanks briefly resurrected the character for the finale, but the actor might now be teasing a full return in Season 43. Any questions?

I don’t want to alarm anyone, but SNL’s David S. Pumpkins and Alec Baldwin’s Trump both debuted in the same season. I know! Things kind of took a turn after November 8, but Tom Hanks’ delightfully bizarre Halloween character debuted only two weeks prior, and now gets his very own Season 42 sendoff. Meet David S. Pimpkins!

Over the weekend, the legendary Tom Hanks hosted the show and delivered in a big way in this short sketch.

Even by the standards of a biopic about an incredibly famous man at the center of an incredibly famous real-life event there isn’t a ton of suspense in Sully. Everyone who was alive and conscious on January 15, 2009 remembers what happened that day, when Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger safely landed US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River after the plane was struck by birds during takeoff.(I certainly do; I’d just arrived at my condo for the Sundance Film Festival and watched the rescue efforts unfold on live television.)

Our little SBC singing sensation is headed to LA this week to chat with Ellen DeGeneres.

Yesterday, Twitter fell in love with a student named Lauren after Tom Hanks found her I.D. and tweeted a picture of it in order to find her.

Just a few years back, Carly Rae Jepsen had a huge summertime hit with "Call Me Maybe", and ever since then she's been searching for that elusive follow-up hit. This time, she may have done it with "I Really Like You", a bouncy little tune whose video features cameos from Tom Hanks and Justin Bieber...

Justin Bieber and Tom Hanks were just photographed straight-up doing a musical number in Carly Rae Jepsen's new music video.

We knew going in that the SNL 40th anniversary special would be chock-full of just about every famous person who has ever walked within spitting distance of 30 Rockefeller Plaza and the opening monologue was quick to make use of this genuinely insane temporary cast of stars. Things got started on the right foot when the always-welcome Steve Martin took the stage ... but then he was joined by Tom Hanks. And then things got really crazy.

Tom Hanks was enjoying a little hockey this week when he ran into a familiar friend. Hanks was rooting on the Rangers of New York, when all of a sudden he appeared on the jumbo-tron. He was a great sport, smiling and waving to crowd. That's when things got awesome.

The powerful play of movie-to-TV reboots goes on, and FOX may contribute another verse. Following an announcement of its 'Minority Report' sequel series, the network has next wished up an "event series" reboot of the classic Tom Hanks comedy 'Big,' as shepherded by 'Enlisted' creators Kevin Biegel and Mike Royce.
