in 1996, zemeckis had begun developing a project titled "the castaway" with tom hanks and writer william broyles, jr.. the story, which was inspired by robinson crusoe, is about a man who becomes stranded on a desert island and undergoes a profound physical and spiritual change. while working on "the castaway", zemeckis also became attached to a hitchcockian thriller titled "what lies beneath", the story of a married couple experiencing an extreme case of empty nest syndrome that was based on an idea by steven spielberg. because hanks' character needed to undergo a dramatic weight loss over the course of "the castaway" (retitled "cast away" for release), zemeckis decided that the only way to retain the same crew while hanks lost the weight was to shoot "what lies beneath" in between. he shot the first part of "cast away" in early 1999, and shot "what lies beneath" in fall 1999, completing work on "cast away" in early 2000. zemeckis later quipped, when asked about shooting two films back-to-back, "i wouldn't recommend it to anyone." "what lies beneath", starring harrison ford and michelle pfeiffer, was released in july 2000 to mixed reviews, but did well at the box office, grossing over $155 million domestically. "cast away" was released that december and grossed $233 million domestically; hanks received an oscar nomination for best actor for his portrayal of chuck noland.
