Oscar-winning actors Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts are reuniting on the big screen for a new movie about a middle-aged man forced to find a new career, Daily Variety reported Tuesday.

Hanks, 53, winner of back-to-back best actor Academy Awards for "Forrest Gump" and "Philadelphia," will direct the film, "Larry Crowne," from a script he wrote himself, the report said.

Roberts, 42, a best actress winner for "Erin Brockovich," starred alongside Hanks in the acclaimed 2007 film "Charlie Wilson's War."
