Clint Eastwood's next movie: Miracle in the Hudson, Capt. Sullenberger Tale

[marylander1940]

Clint Eastwood is tackling another real-life hero: Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger.

 

The prolific director’s next film will be the story of Sullenberger’s life and the dramatic tale of how the veteran pilot ditched U.S. Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River in January 2009, saving everyone on board. Eastwood will make the movie for Warner Bros., his longtime home studio.

 

“I am very glad my story is in the hands of gifted storyteller and filmmaker Clint Eastwood, and veteran producers Allyn Stewart and Frank Marshall. The project could not have found a better home than Warner Bros. Pictures. This is truly a dream team,“ Sullenberger said in a statement.

Any old white man would do an accurate job, LOL

 

It was only a matter of time: Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger is getting a movie made about the "Miracle on the Hudson."

 

The famed U.S. Airways pilot who bravely (not to mention aptly) landed a Charlotte-bound flight into the Hudson River after a bird strike, has already written a book about the experience called "Highest Duty".

 

No word yet on who would play him, but people are suggesting fellow pilot Harrison Ford, among others.

 

Who would you want to play Sullenberger? Leave it in comments.

A wonderful story to be told.

Good to know that Eastwood is back in the game. After that inane monologue with the empty chair, I thought he may have lost his faculties.
