Tom Hanks is Major Matt Mason in Major Matt Mason!

Tom Hanks is Major Matt Mason in the new upcoming film based on the Major Matt Mason toy line that existed before I was born. As in they stopped making them before I was born, not like GI Joe that also predates me but is still around and also getting a movie.
ComingSoon quotes variety

The film will be developed as a star vehicle for Tom Hanks, and Graham Yost will write the script.

Playtone partners Hanks and Gary Goetzman will produce.

The toy line originated in 1966; Mason led an astronaut team that worked on the moon and lived in a space station. The toy was a hit in the buildup to the first manned moon mission. Mattel retired the line in the 1970s

Could be some campy space fun!
Looks like every toy line will get a movie! How about… A Battle Beasts movie! I want, no, DEMAND they make this film immediately! And thirty sequels, and new Battle Beasts toys. Plus we need movies for Thundercats, Visionaries, Go-Bots, Starriors, M.A.S.K., and the Sectaurs! Snap to it, Hollywood! I am your demographic and I have spoken!
