Despite a pretty swell fake poster pitting Ryan Gosling as Walt Disney, it appears Tom Hanks may be the one to portray the legend onscreen. While we previously heard he was a possibility, Variety now reports that Hanks is officially in talks alongside Emma Thompson to star in the “making-of Mary Poppins” film Saving Mr. Banks. The pic tells the true story of Disney’s 14-year courtship of Australian author P.L. Travers for the rights to the Mary Poppins character. Thompson is negotiating to play Travers, who was ultimately displeased with the 1964 feature film adaptation (especially the animated sequences) and even more upset with the way the property was treated by Disney. Ironically, Disney is the studio that’s putting Saving Mr. Banks together. Hit the jump for more.

Meryl Streep was previously mentioned as a possibility for the Travers role, but I quite like the casting of Thompson. As for Hanks, it’s difficult to think of a more amiable actor to portray Walt Disney. I’m less enthused by the choice of director, John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side), but with Disney backing the project I guess family-friendly was inevitable. I just hope the rough edges of the Disney/Travers relationship aren’t smoothed out for the feature version of their story in lieu of a “happy ending.”

Hanks recently wrapped Cloud Atlas with the Wachowskis, and is next set to shoot the Somali pirate pic Captain Phillips for director Paul Greengrass. Thompson shot the biopic Effie, based on a script she wrote, late last year with Dakota Fanning and she recently signed on to star in the adaptation Beautiful Creatures. She’ll next be seen in this summer’s Men in Black 3 and will be heard in Brave.

近日，据外媒报道，汤姆·汉克斯与艾玛·汤普森正在洽谈出演一部名为《拯救班克斯先生》（Saving Mr. Banks）的影片。汉克斯将出演迪士尼王国的开拓者华特·迪士尼。

影片根据真实故事改编，讲述了华特·迪士尼制作电影《欢乐满人间》的经历。当年，华特·迪士尼花费了14年时间，争取到本片的改编权。这部影片成为朱丽·安德鲁斯的银幕处女作，扮演了一个跟她次年主演的《音乐之声》几乎相同的角色。影片不仅歌曲非常出色，一点不亚于《音乐之声》，而且特技也属一流，尤其是真人跟动画共舞的段落，在当时达到新的境界。

艾玛·汤普森在片中饰演《欢乐满人间》原著作者P.L. Travers。据悉，Travers当年非常不满意迪士尼改编的《欢乐满人间》，特别是动画段落，对于迪士尼的酬劳分配也颇有微词。此前，梅丽尔·斯特里普也曾考虑出演该角色。

本片将由《弱点》导演约翰·李·汉考克执导。而迪士尼方面对该项目暂未发布任何评论。
