Tom Hanks ranks as one of Hollywood’s most popular actors. Moviegoers(去看電影的人)eagerly anticipate（參加）in the opening of his new pictures. If you’re a Hank fan, you don’t have to wait much longer. Hank’s newest film, Cast Away, opens this winter.

　 Tom Hanks plays Chunk Noland, a FedEx executive who lives by the clock. He carefully plans every minute of both his professional(職業(yè)的) and personal time. But on his way home for the holidays, the small plane he’s in crashes in the Pacific Ocean. Only Noland survives. He ends up alone on a tropical island and begins a battle for survival. In the process, his view of success and life itself change dramatically(戲劇性地).

This role may be the most physically-challenging of Hank’s career. The actor lost 53 pounds for the part. Director Robert Zemeckis shot the first section of the film with Hanks weighing more than 225 pounds. The filming took a break （間隔）for a year while Hanks lost weight. To take off the pounds, Hanks ate little and exercised a lot.

The movie may surprise some of Hank’s fans. It’s not an upbeat comedy like Sleepless in Seattle or You’re Got Mail. In fact, Hanks spends a large part of the movie not speaking. After all, who is there to talk to when you’re alone on an island?
