Tom Hanks just might be seen at a Starbucks near
you - wearing that green employee apron, not on the customer side of the counter. Universal just picked up the rights to an as-yet-unpublished book by
Michael Gates Gill about a man who, fired from his executive job, is forced to start over in the service industry,
working at a coffee shop. The movie, titled How Starbucks Saved My Life, is slated to begin production later
this year. Though the memoir is based on events that happened in the late 1960's, it seems likely that the movie will
be set in the present.
