Hasn’t this story already been put to film?
I just wonder how Clint will spin one brief event into
a full tapestry of a two hour hollywood movie?
What else is there to say that hasn’t already been said?

“Trying to figure out who should play Sully...nobody comes to mind..”

Denzel...

Have to be politically correct. But I like Sinise, Tom Hanks or anyone from Apollo 13.

One of Clint’s ‘average’ films is better than most directors best films.

After “Flight”, no director is letting Denzel anywhere NEAR a cockpit again.

According to the article the film will be based on his book. I have a feeling it will be a bout a lot more than the ditching.

No offense to Sully or Clint, but I don’t think anyone is exactly pining for a whole movie.
