"The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece" will be released on May 9.
This is Hanks' second writing endeavor. He published a collection of essays titled "Uncommon Type" in 2017, which landed him on The New York Times Best Sellers List.
His writing has appeared in The New York Times, Vanity Fair and The New Yorker.
