Disney Plans Sequel 'Saving Mr Hanks'

Disney is planning a sequel to its hit 2013 movie 'Saving Mr Banks', called 'Saving Mr Hanks'.

The film will tell the story of the struggle to get 'Saving Mr Banks' onto the big screen.

Disney rejected many pitches for the film, reveals The Wrap - and even considered buying the script to bury it.

"It's an amazing true story," a Disney insider told HuffPost UK Comedy. "Now is the right time to tell it."

Daniel Day-Lewis is currently in the running to play Tom Hanks, the insider revealed, while Meryl Streep is apparently being considered for the role of Emma Thompson.
