Variety is reporting that Disney is apparently trying to get Tom Hanks to play none other than Uncle Walt himself in their upcoming Saving Mr. Banks. The film would tell story of how Walt struggled to get the film rights of the Mary Poppins character from author P.L. Travers, who Disney is hoping will be played by Emma Thompson. Nothing is confirmed as of yet, and the project is currently without a release date.
