Over The Top Metal News has been informed by an inside source over at Touchstone Pictures that a really monumental Rush bio pic is in the works and that casting has already been done. Playing the role of Neil Peart will be academy award winning actor Tom Hanks.

Tom Hanks said, “Of all the movies I have ever been in, this was by far the most challenging role I’ve ever accepted.” Why was this role so challenging? Tom Hanks said the hardest part of this role was doing all his own stunts. “I actually had to play all the drums myself. Do you know how hard it was to play “La Villa Strangiato? Well, that and having to sit through the guys who are auditioning to play Geddy Lee do 37 takes of “Finding My Way.”

The movie is set for a 2016 release since they are still trying to find someone who is remotely as “unique” looking as Geddy Lee.

I like this choice. Hanks looks the part and it's awesome to hear he's doing the drumming himself. Must have been really hard considering Peart is a badass on drums.

While Hanks and Peart look like they could be brothers, they're only 4 years apart age-wise. Are they going to use CGI to make Hanks look younger?

Personally I don't care. All they really need is a bit of touch up makeup for wrinkles I would think.

Have you ever heard of make up? Movie magic.

It'll take a lot more than makeup to make Hanks look like he's in his 20s.
