Tom Hanks deeply appreciates the transformative power of artificial intelligence (AI). With a career spanning decades and a deep understanding of the evolving filmmaking landscape, the iconic actor shares his thoughts on the rapidly evolving technology.
Tom Hanks Imagines The Influence Of AI On The Film Industry And Actors’ Deals
In a recent episode of “The Adam Buxton Podcast,” he delves into a fascinating discussion about the future of filmmaking and the growing role of AI in the industry. The “Forrest Gump” actor singled out the movie “The Polar Express” as a pivotal moment for AI.
He shared that it was during this period that a large amount of their data, including their appearance, was digitally captured and integrated into the film. The two-time Academy Award winner told the host:
“We saw this coming. We saw that there would be this ability to take zeros and ones inside the computer and turn them into faces and characters. Now, that’s just grown a billion-fold since then, and we’re seeing it everywhere.”

During the conversation, the 66-year-old continued to explore the implications of this technological shift, emphasizing its inevitable impact on actor contracts. He revealed ongoing discussions among industry associations, agencies and law firms regarding the legal implications surrounding the use of actors’ faces and voices as their intellectual property. The “Philadelphia” star explained further:
“What is the bona fide possibility now, if I want, [is] I could get together and pitch a series of seven movies that would star me in them where I would be 32 years old from now until the kingdom comes.
Hanks delves deeper into the profound implications of AI and fake technology for the entertainment industry and admits that these advances will allow anyone to reinvent themselves at any age, even after death.
He assumed that his show could go on forever, with a level of authenticity that would make it difficult to tell the difference between AI-generated content and his real presence.
The two men ponder whether viewers can tell the difference between a genuine Tom Hanks performance and an AI-generated one. The “A League of Their Own” star believes that while some individuals can definitely see the difference, the important question is whether or not they will care. He emphasized:
“There are some people who don’t care, who won’t make that demarcation.”
Determined to stay one step ahead of the ever-changing world of technology, the author and Robin Wright are ready to explore the possibilities of artificial intelligence in an upcoming project. Reunited with their “Forrest Gump” director, Robert Zemeckis, the actors will undergo a de-aging process for the adaptation of Richard McGuire’s comic, “Here.”

The award-winning actor joined the dialogue around nepotism in the film industry. While nepotism is always discussed, The Blast notes that New York Magazine’s scrutiny of “nepo babies” brought it to the fore once again.
He added his perspective to explain the challenges in the industry during an interview with The Sun. It’s worth noting that his two eldest children, Elizabeth and Colin, had important roles in several of his films, with Colin receiving recognition and praise for his performance.
His other sons, Chet and Truman, are also in the entertainment industry, with the latter appearing with Hanks in the film “A Man Called Otto.” In a candid statement, he expressed his perspective on the matter, stating:
“Look, this is a family business. This is what we’ve been doing forever. It’s what all our kids have grown up with. If we’re a plumbing supply business or if we’re running a flower shop down the street, the whole family is going to spend time at some point , even if it’s just inventory at the end of the year.”
He, however, stressed that regardless of one’s famous family name or industry connections, the key to success lies in the amount of effort and dedication put into the craft.
The Primetime Emmy Award winner also emphasized that when undertaking creative or storytelling endeavors, the focus should be on delivering an authentic and engaging experience for the audience, regardless of background or family heritage.
