Tom Hanks and That Thing You Do Co-Star Reunite: Sweet Pic Ignites Legacy-quel Hopes

by

30 years have passed since Tom Hanks’ cult classic film “That Thing You Do” was released, and fans are still captivated by the pop music dramedy it presented. This affection isn’t just shared by the audience, but also by Hanks himself and his seasoned cast from the 1996 production. Although a Wonders reunion concert in 2025 isn’t on the agenda, my hopes for a sequel-legacy story are somewhat revived following a charming encounter with actor Johnathon Schaech.

At social media platforms, Schaech posted an image showcasing him alongside the legendary figure from Toy Story, capturing them both in their natural habitat. Keeping the word about this worthy classic alive, here’s a glimpse of the message he shared:

In the realm of social media, Schaech uploaded a photo featuring him and the renowned Toy Story figure, both spotted in their natural environment. Propagating the good news of this deserving classic, here’s what his post conveyed:

It seems there might be some intrigue about The Wonders’ legacy. Admittedly, a casual observer could mistake this for something more than just a friendly reunion, such as Johnathon Schaech’s meeting with Tom Hanks in 2023. However, given the recent remastered version of “That Thing You Do” soundtrack, it appears that this movie still resonates strongly with fans.

Often regarded as one of the top ’90s films, it would be delightful to witness a 4K remastered version for its 30th anniversary. I’m certain that this would bring joy to Tom Felton, former Harry Potter cast member, who expressed his affection for the movie by commenting on a photo, “You guys look great in gold, have I told you that.” Even the iconic Draco Malfoy seems captivated by That Thing You Do!

It’s clear that Mr. Felton isn’t the only admirer of this classic film; even the Haim sisters have recently honored Tom Hanks’ initial work as both writer and director. The latest album and tour by rock band Haim are named after a memorable scene where Johnathon Schaech’s Jimmy tells Tom Hanks’ Mr. White, “I quit!” This suggests that the movie is still fresh in many people’s minds, much like other films that continue to resonate over time, attracting viewers who subscribe to Hulu.

As a movie enthusiast who frequently finds myself drawn back to the charming world of “That Thing You Do”, I might admit to a touch of bias. Beyond the film’s enchantment, there’s a delight in witnessing two artists with a shared past exchanging thoughts over casual brunches. Sometimes, these gatherings are just ordinary meals… until they spark speculation about The Wonders potentially gracing the prestigious Criterion Collection. While such an announcement hasn’t materialized as of now, isn’t it wonderful to indulge in dreams like this?

To find out what these people have been doing lately, it’s quite straightforward. Tom Hanks is starring in the movie titled “The Phoenician Scheme“, which is now playing at a cinema near you. On the other hand, Johnathon Schaech’s current show, “Blue Ridge“, is still working on its second season production, while the first season can be streamed on Peacock.
