Old man yells at monsters on the moon.
Major Matt Mason is an astronaut who lives and works on the moon. The toy’s popularity coincided with America’s own space race in the ’60s, and has supporting characters like a space crew and alien allies and villains.
Hanks is making the circuit rounds for IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. The script will be adapted from a short story written by Michael Chabon, who wrote the FABULOUS middle grade novel Summerland in 2002.
Akiva Goldsman has teamed up with Will Smith for "Brilliance", a movie about non-neurotypical people who are othered by society and tracked by the government.
