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!

Who doesn’t love a bit of Abba? I defy anyone to hear the opening bars of ‘Dancing Queen’ and not start tapping their feet. And that’s the reason Mamma Mia! is such a runaway success in the West End. The story is set on a Greek island and follows a young woman trying to find out the identity of her father before she gets married. The show is light-hearted and fun… but the best part of it is the amount of classic Abba songs you get to hear performed live on stage - you can’t beat those catchy tunes!
Indulge your secret love of Abba and check out the ‘Mamma Mia’ music video..
