Another proposal of the initiative is to pay tribute to Adam Schlesinger, writer and composer of the famous music of the production, “That Thing You Do”, who died last month due to the disease. The event will be held next Friday (17) through the fictional band’s YouTube channel, in which fans can also ask questions. The news was shared by Scott, through his Twitter:
— Tom Everett Scott (@TomEScott) April 13, 2020 Directed by Tom Hanks, the feature is set in the 1960s and follows the trajectory of the rock band “Oneders”, later renamed “The Wonders”. In the plot, the aforementioned song, a nostalgic and fast-paced ballad, elevates the group to success after a performance. The meeting also promises to bring special guests, however, with names yet to be revealed – although Liv Tyler and Charlize Theron, who served in the production, are expected to participate. It is worth pointing out that Hanks was one of the first Hollywood celebrities to reveal his positive diagnosis for covid-19 and, therefore, should make an appearance on live.
