The aim is for Kirk to become the progenitor of a "children's lifestyle brand." Think Martha Stewart for toddlers...
...movie power you're after, then you really want to direct. For sheer Hollywood eclat, "Tom Hanks in..." can't match "A Film by Tom Hanks." You suddenly bloom from mere interpreter to full creator--artistic boss. You radiate the chicest of French perfumes: Auteur. People take you seriously; critics take you too seriously.
