Capt. 'Sully' lands in Hollywood
The Kennedy/Marshall Co. and Flashlight Films will fly with Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, optioning the film rights to the heroic pilot's memoir recounting how he ditched U.S. Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River. Sullenberger penned "Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters" with Jeffrey Zaslow. Frank Marshall will produce with Flashlight Films' Allyn Stewart. Exec producers are Kathleen Kennedy and Flashlight's Kipp Nelson. (www.variety.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
i still don't understand how they are going to make a feature-length film about an event that didn't even last 5 minutes. are they going to have the geese plotting against the airplane for the first hour?
Watch the old "Airplane" movies, then you'll see how they can.
It will be interesting to see ... I'll volunteer as one of the passengers ..and do it just for the "shoulder rubbing" with Sully
It's very simple, Jason. They will do short, big screen bios on a few of the passengers, maybe the flight crew, detail Sully's morning or even the night and day before, maybe sitting at the computer after supper and dialing up Flightaware. Throw in a fictional bystander just happening to be bird watching from a high rise talking to his girlfriend and saying sorry he couldn't make the flight he has to work. And there you have it. The movie will not be all in flight coverage. I doubt it's going to win any awards but someone will make a buck or two off it. I hope Sully does. The whole event still has me shaking my head in disbelief...
One part of me is saying let it go and move on, but on the other side, I think a movie would be a great tribute to Sully and his crew and to show the world what CRM is all about!
We're gonna need another "I picked a bad week to stop sniffin' glue" from Lloyd Bridges in there somewhere.
