![]() ![]() The intervening year had seen them cautious and nervous about the gamble of doing the film like this. A year after the previous footage had been shot, the production ramped back up, and the back end of the movie was filmed. Tom Hanks certainly fits the description of a guy, stranded on an island for four years. Thus, with What Lies Beneath all but edited – and Zemeckis had form of shooting films back to back with the Back To The Future sequels, but never making an entirely different live action movie in between the production of a film – the Cast Away crew would reassemble. Paul Sanchez plays Ramon, Petersons FedEx Driver, Semion Suradikov plays Nicolai, and Nick Searcy plays Stan. The whole dual projects at the same time was also possible thanks to a deal between 20th Century Fox and DreamWorks, that allowed both films to schedule in a way that got them both made, and ultimately released in the same year. Hanks would occasionally pop by the What Lies Beneath set, so that everyone there – who knew what was happening – could check in on him. And it was his own suggestion, too.įor in the intervening year, while Hanks changed his body dramatically, he went off and made What Lies Beneath, starring Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer. But what Zemeckis did with Cast Away was arguably more audacious and ground breaking. ![]() Recently, Steven Spielberg shot and released The Post while Ready Player One was in post-production. Instead, they set off to make an entirely different movie inbetween. For the crew, though, they didn’t hang around and watch. Firstly, it allowed Hanks to lose the weight, and to grow the raggedy beard his character is ultimately seen with. But that footage? It was filmed a year after the first part of the movie. The film then jumps so we see the character many years later. That took Chuck from the crash to the first part of his adventure stranded on the island. Zemeckis and his crew duly started production, and the first part of Cast Away was shot. In all, he gained around 50 pounds to play the version of Chuck that we see at the start of the movie. ![]() It took years before the script would join up into something they’d all want to make. He had worked on a draft with Bill Broyles, and a year after they’d completed Forrest Gump together, he sent it to Zemeckis. Hanks, it should be noted, was the original driving force behind Cast Away. As such, as pre-production ramped up, he began gaining weight. Yet back in the later 1990s, he was in a position to do so. ![]()
