| March | 27 | Universal is lining up some big names for "How Starbucks Saved My Life," recruiting Tom Hanks to star in the project and wooing Gus Van Sant to direct. The studio snagged "Starbucks" as a 102-page proposal by Michael Gates Gill, grabbing the rights to the memoir, although it has yet to actually be written. Penguin's Gotham Books will publish "Starbucks" whenever Gill is done with it. Gill was a former ad exec who lost his job and lost his wife and ended up working at Starbucks. Naturally, his time pouring coffee helped rejuvenate his interest in living. Universal has yet to line up a writer for the film.

The junior will play Buck, a wannabe magician who goes to work as an assistant to a celebrated conjurer whose career is in decline. The elder Hanks will take on the smaller role of Buck's father, who's not exactly thrilled about his son's job aspirations. Kevin Kline is in final talks to play the veteran illusionist and Buck's mentor. "The Great Buck Howard" is set to begin filming in July for a 2007 release.
