The specific details of the filing have not been made public, but […]
Tom Hanks made his directing debut in 1996 with That Thing You Do!, a fictional saga of a one-hit-wonder 1960s band punningly called the Wonders. The title song, written by Fountains of Wayne’s Adam Schlesinger, captures the ’60s zeitgeist in a tidy two minutes and 43 seconds. But Hanks chose it after a wide audition. […]
