New Hanks pic to become video game

'Polar Express', the new live action/animated movie starring Tom Hanks, is set to become a video game.

The Hollywood Reporter says that movie studio Warner Bros has inked a deal with game publishers THQ, who hope Hanks will agree to voicing the game.

Based on Chris Van Allsburg's best-selling picture book, 'Polar Express' tells the story of a young boy who heads for Santa's home in the North Pole aboard a magical train.
