Tom Hanks is heading back to space.<\/p>\n

The two-time Oscar-winner is set to co-write and narrate The Moonwalkers<\/em>, an immersive art exhibition in London based around the stories of the Apollo space missions. Hanks will pen the exhibition — which will be mounted at the Lightroom in London’s Kings Cross — with double BAFTA-nominated writer Christopher Riley.<\/p>\n

The Moonwalkers<\/em> will be directed and designed by 59 Productions, the team behind the Lightroom’s recent immersive exhibition David Hockney: Bigger & Closer<\/em>, based on Hockney’s work. The 59 Productions team’s previous work also includes Apollo 50: Go for the Moon at the Washington Monument in collaboration with The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, marking fifty years since Apollo 11 touched down.<\/p>\n

The exhibition will feature original NASA footage and images from Apollo Remastered<\/em>, the classic photography book by Andy Saunders, who will also serve as consultant producer. Hanks will also interview astronauts on NASA’s Artemis program for the exhibition.<\/p>\n

The Forrest Gump<\/em> actor is known for his leading role in Ron Howard’s Apollo 13. He also serves on the Board of Governors of the National Space Society and has been honored by the Space Foundation. He produced the 1998 HBO miniseries From the Earth to the Moon<\/em> and co-wrote the IMAX film Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“Growing up as humankind was first going to the moon, I was transfixed by the Apollo missions and dreamed of making the voyages with the astronauts. I’ve worked on several projects that have attempted to bring alive the breathtaking scale of going to the moon and the razor-edge drama of each journey, each chapter of Apollo,” Hanks said. <\/p>\n

“The extraordinary and unique production capabilities of Lightroom allow me, alongside Christopher Riley, to tell what we believe is the most visceral and enthralling story to date of humanity’s journeys beyond our earth, including a unique insight into the next time human beings will walk on the moon: the Artemis missions.”<\/p>\n
