Tom Hanks is determined to get his revenge on moviemaker Ron Howard for forcing him to suffer on film sets.

The pair has a long working relationship together, dating from the 1984 romantic comedy Splash to the more recent The Da Vinci Code and this year's (09) sequel Angels and Demons.

Howard has made the 52 year old suffer for his art, putting him througha number of gruelling stunts - and Hanks is eager to one day turn the tables on the director/producer.

But the actor admits it's not all doom and gloom at work with Howard We have had a lot of grand adventures and sometimes we look at each otherand say, 'Can you believe we get to shoot here at three in the morning?'

Hanks says, "Ron has had me cold and miserable and air sick 'Do it again, back in the water, stop! You're no good. We're not leaving until you get this.' I would love to be able to turn the tables".
