We have just received word that Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson were tested positive for the Coronavirus. Both were down in Australia for the pre-production of Baz Luhrmann’s untitled Elvis Presley film from Warner Bros. In the film, two-time Oscar winner Hanks plays Presley’s longtime manager Colonel Tom Parker.
Deadline received a statement directly from Hanks:
“Hello, folks. Rita and I are down here in Australia. We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches. Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers too. To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the Coronavirus, and were found to be positive.
Well, now. What to do next? The Medical Officials have protocols that must be followed. We Hanks’ will be tested, observed, and isolated for as long as public health and safety requires. Not much more to it than a one-day-at-a-time approach, no?
We’ll keep the world posted and updated.
Take care of yourselves!” – Tom Hanks
Warner Bros. had this response:
“We have been made aware that a company member from our Elvis feature film, which is currently in pre-production in The Gold Coast, Australia, has tested positive for COVID-19 (coronavirus).
We are working closely with the appropriate Australian health agencies to identify and contact anyone who may have come in direct contact with the individual. The health and safety of our company members is always our top priority, and we are taking precautions to protect everyone who works on our productions around the world.
Crazy.
China sucks!
Alright Tom, go to a deserted Pacific island and talk to a coconut until you’re virus free — then you can come home.
This couldn’t possibly be a publicity stunt.
Doesn’t this virus know how rich and powerful they are?
Tom Hanks as Elvis Presley?
Good grief.
Col. Parker actually.
Carl Goldman (67 with bGuilain-Barre ) has been quarantined for 34 days. He can return home to California after he tests negative 3 consecutive times to be self quarantined for another 14 days.
He tested positive again today. Friday is his next scheduled test. Prayers up, carl
LOL! So now it’s just a “bug”!
Ah.
Apparently not!
Also doesn’t seem to even consider that they have all the permissible positions on the issues!
That was Wilson, the soccer ball.
Guess they can title the film after an Elvis song. I suggest Fever.
OK Hank, run as fast as you can into the forest and learn to dangle.
We’ll keep the world posted and updated.
Take care of yourselves!” – Tom Hanks
Give me a break keep the world posted who gives a crap.
