"Leave her alone, she's perfect": Tom Hanks refuses to take part in the remake of this classic Hollywood film

Tom Hanks turned down a 2000 offer to star in a remake of the classic comedy 'Harvey'.

Since then, the project has bounced between studios, writers, and would-be leads without ever getting made.

Names like John Travolta, Robert Downey Jr., Jim Carrey, and Adam Sandler were linked at different points.

The original James Stewart film remains beloved, with TV versions existing but no successful modern film remake.
