Tom Hanks teams up with ABBA!
January 17th, 2008 by Laura WestAre you sitting comfortably? Because this story might knock your socks off!
The unlikely pairing of Tom Hanks and ABBA will hit our cinemas late 2007. Tom Hanks has said Gimme Gimme Gimme a film version of the ABBA inspired hit musical ‘Mamma Mia!’
The musical phenomenon that is ‘Mamma Mia!’ is heading to the big screen courtesy of Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman, who have also enrolled My Big Fat Greek Wedding’s producer Judy Cramer to help out.
For those of you who don’t know ‘Mamma Mia!’ (where have you been?), it’s the tale of a young woman who embarks on a quest to discover the identity of her father on the eve of her wedding. The story is set to 22 ABBA hits which include Knowing Me, Knowing You, Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen and The Winner Takes It All.
So if you’ve seen the show, read the book, why not re-live that fantastic story again at a cinema near you…………and then decide that the show is better and book to see it again!

Hi McGuffin,
Thanks for reading our blog and sending us the trailer link - we’ve just watched it and it looks superb!
It’s certainly packed full of famous names and the mis-en-scene is just beautiful. Make sure you check back again so we can compare how the film stands up to the theatre show.
Thanks again,
Laura
