The Terminal, Revisited

Angels & Demons is set to hit theaters May 15, 2009. One can only assume that in the coming weeks Tom Hanks will be quite busy making the obligatory rounds on all the major talk-shows. After spending time at the JFK airport this week, I think Tom should leave the movie's promotion to Director Ron Howard and carve out time in his schedule to remake his 2004 hit, The Terminal.

In the original movie Tom plays Viktor Navorski, a man trying desperately to leave JFK for his home in Krakozhia, but he finds himself stuck in the airport day after endless day. Fastforward five years to 2009 and picture the revamped version of The Terminal (we can call it- "The Terminal, Revisited") with JFK's new JetBlue terminal, T5, as the setting. With the quality and number of new restaurants in T5, I can't imagine why Viktor would ever want to leave for Krakozhia. He could easily pass the time devouring flavorful Italian dishes from AeroNuova, learning to roll sushi from a menu created by Buddakan's Michael Schulson at Deep Blue Sushi, and ultimately fall in love with a flight attendant who bears an uncanny resemblance to Catherine Zeta-Jones over a filet and a beer at 5ive Steak. With 23 new food and beverage outposts in T5, "The Terminal, Revisited" is sure to be a box-office success. Now I just need to figure out how to get in touch with Tom Hanks...
