Hanks and Wilson (his wife, not the ball) are currently being treated at Gold Coast University Hospital. Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the couple is getting “the best treatment in our hospitals just as we provide to everybody else.” What did Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson test positive for?

Tom Hanks famously named the volleyball he befriends in the 2000 film Cast Away “Wilson”. In the film, Hanks plays a FedEx executive stranded on an uninhabited island after a plane crash. Wilson, the volleyball, serves as his only companion for many years on the island until he is eventually rescued. The name is a reference to Wilson Sporting Goods, the manufacturer of the volleyball. Tom Hanks and Wilson became an iconic duo and a powerful symbol of resilience and friendship. The film begins and ends in the same location, on the Arrington Ranch in the Texas Panhandle south of the city of Canadian, Texas.

Now, you’re married to the wonderful Rita Wilson, who I love, I adore, we all do,” Sean said on the podcast. “Was that by design because it could have been called Spalding?” The real Wilson volleyball that was used in the hit movie Castaway starring Tom Hanks is currently on display at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles. The volleyball was used in the movie as a symbol of hope and love and has become an iconic representation of the film. The museum displays the volleyball alongside some other artifacts and props from the movie. It is a great way to honor the legacy of the movie and the volleyball itself.

We truly didn’t have a clue what the ball’s involvement would be walking into that theatre,” Davenport recalls. “I remember walking out of the screening thinking ‘ holy [expletive]!'’ We knew we (as a company) had to do something.” I immediately started getting calls from the media. And I felt like an idiot because I had no idea what they were talking about,” Wallace laughs. “Fox still hadn’t told us anything at all about the storyline or how the volleyballs had been used.”Schaefer, Stephen (January 31, 2001).

After receiving the photo, the team didn’t hear from Fox Studios again until the film was set to begin industry screenings in LA. And assoon as the screenings began, calls started rolling in. They were very vague about the film and how the product would be used,”Wallace remembers, “but they said it wouldn’t be used as a weapon or in any way that was damaging to the brand.” But in 1998, a call came into Team Sports Communications Manager Molly Wallace that was unlike any she’d ever received.

The last time we saw Wilson in ultimate social-distancing movie Cast Away , things weren’t going so well for him. After being best buds with Tom Hanks for four years on a small island in the South Pacific, Hanks and his trusty volleyball set sail upon a makeshift raft, determined to be rescued by a passing ship in the ocean. But after a storm, Hanks finds his spherical pal adrift, having come dislodged from the post he’d been tied to. Hanks tries to rescue him, but Wilson is too far gone.

The love Tom Hanks has for his wife, actress and singer Rita Wilson, is truly one of a kind. After 33 years of marriage, the actor is still revealing ways that she has been a part of his different projects, including his 2000 drama film Cast Away. Perhaps you’ve heard that a Wilson brand volleyball was selected for the movie in honor of Tom Hanks’ wife, Rita Wilson. The story goes that Hanks knew he would be away from home filming with a small crew for an extended period of time, so he wanted to have some connection to the product that would play his co-star. That’s why he chose a ball with his wife’s name.

It could have been,” Tom said. “[ Cast Away] was written by Bill Broyles and that movie took about six years to figure out. Bill Broyles and I started talking about it and we didn’t shoot it until six years later. He came up with the idea of a volleyball and he named it Wilson in honor of my beautiful bride.” At the end of June 1993 the movie Sleepless in Seattle premiered in the USA. It was the fifth highest grossing movie in the USA in that year and eight worldwide. It was also the first proper global success for 37-year old Tom Hanks and the beginning of a brilliant 10-year period. The short article actually played things relatively straight until the last line: “the thoughtful and overworked staff at the Gold Coast hospital have brought Hanks in a Wilson volleyball to keep him company for the duration of his stay.” VanHooker, Brian (April 17, 2020).

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch was originally given its name by a prominent oceanographer by the name of Curtis Ebbesmeyer , who explains to me that Wilson could have ended up in one of the two big garbage patches that fall between Australia and South America. These two patches exist in what is known as the “Heyerdahl Gyre,” the circular pattern of the ocean in the South Pacific. W hile we don’t know exactly where Hanks’ island was in Cast Away , we’re told that it was “ 600 miles south of the Cook Islands ,” which are 3,000 miles east of Australia, putting Wilson firmly in the Heyerdahl Gyre.
