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.” 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. At first, Fox was reluctant to let Wilson produce "Cast Away" replica balls. At the time, the film had no other commercial merchandise. But the Wilson team flew out to L.A. to meet with the film’s producers, and eventually got the go-ahead to produce replica Wilson the Volleyballs. It just so happened that, later that same week, Fox was holding a critics’ screening of "Cast Away" at the Siskel and Ebert Theatre in downtown Chicago. Rather than explaining the plot over the phone, Fox invited Wallace, Davenport, and Kuehne to attend the screening. At the time of filming, a FedEx plane hadn’t actually crashed like that in real life—though in 2009 two crew members died in a crash and in August 2015 a plane crashed into the Caribbean Sea—but the company didn’t want to draw attention to the fact that it could happen. FedEx provided filming locations at their hubs in Memphis, Los Angeles, and Moscow, and helped with logistical support.The representative from Fox explained that the film would be a bit unusual because it wouldn’t have much of a supporting cast. But hedid disclose the film’s leading man. After the movie premiered, two out of three of the actual balls used for filming were auctioned off. The remaining OG Wilson the Volleyball went on to make an appearance on "Saturday Night Live." WILSON COMES HOME Wilson Cast Away Volleyball". Wilson Sporting Goods.

Unlike Tom Hanks in the film, she was left trying to survive in cold climates, with just a cat who had been aboard the ship for company. In Cast Away, the volleyball is named Wilson. 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?”

That's whenwe really started wondering, ‘Why do they need that? What could they be doing with one-sided balls?'” Wallace recalls.

Other people who experienced life as castaways in various ways and may have provided some inspiration for the film, include Tom Neale, a New Zealand bushcraft and survival enthusiast who spent much of his life in the Cook Islands, and a total of 16 years – in three sessions – living alone on the island of Anchorage in the Suwarrow atoll, which was the basis of his popular autobiography An Island To Oneself; Leendert Hasenbosch who was an employee of the Dutch East India Company marooned on Ascension Island in the South Atlantic Ocean as a punishment for sodomy and Narcisse Pelletier, born in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie in the Vendée who was a French sailor. Pelletier was abandoned in 1858 at the age of 14 on the Cape York Peninsula, in Australia, during the dry season.

He took a few items with him from the ship, including a knife, bedding and a Bible, and was left to hunt for his own food which included lobsters and feral goats.

In similar fashion, a group of people are stranded in an exotic location and must compete against each other, and the show became an immediate hit for CBS. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Hanks said he was “spooked by the show’s like-minded theme” but he knew “we didn’t have a trivial film. Good or bad, we always had something that was much more substantial than what is essentially a game show that is a television phenomenon.” 9. Cast Away led to the creation of Lost.

Also thanks to "Cast Away," Alan Davenport was quoted in the Wall Street Journal and Entertainment Weekly magazine within a month of one another. “I believe my quote was ‘Not every actor can be as well-rounded as Wilson. He is not just another pretty face.'” Among the most famous is the story of Alexander Selkirk, who is known by some as a real-life Robinson Crusoe, inspiring the Daniel Defoe novel. It was the end of his journey.” Unfortunately, it appears the final Wilson didn’t end up in a museum, memorabilia store, or in an auction. Instead, that particular volleyball found its way to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, or at best, floating around in the Pacific Ocean somewhere. Allegedly,the screenwriter of the film was one of these guys who likes to go out and experience what he was writing about,” remembers Davenport. The volleyball was named Wilson as in the name of the manufacturer of the ball. What size soccer ball do women use? Women’s soccer is in a different league to the men’s soccer. Why is Tom Hanks in a Wilson volleyball?

Just before he is rescued, in one of the movies most famous scenes, he loses the ball, and as it floats away from him, he tearfully yells, "I'm sorry, Wilson!" At the time, Wilson volleyballs had “Wilson” printed on both sides of the ball, but Fox specifically requested volleyballs with one side blank. Says Davenport, “ We had no idea why they needed that, but we did it. We special-made 60 one-sided volleyballs and sent them off to Fox.”
