From Oscar-winning director Clint Eastwood (“American
Sniper,” “Million Dollar Baby”) comes Warner Bros. Pictures’ drama “Sully,”
starring Oscar winner Tom Hanks (“Bridge of Spies,” “Forrest Gump”) as Captain
Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger.
On January 15, 2009, the world witnessed the “Miracle on the
Hudson” when Captain “Sully” Sullenberger glided his disabled plane onto the
frigid waters of the Hudson River, saving the lives of all 155 aboard. However,
even as Sully was being heralded by the public and the media for his
unprecedented feat of aviation skill, an investigation was unfolding that
threatened to destroy his reputation and his career.
“Sully” also stars Aaron Eckhart (“Olympus Has Fallen,” “The
Dark Knight”) as Sully’s co-pilot, Jeff Skiles, and Oscar nominee Laura Linney
(“The Savages,” “Kinsey,” Showtime’s “The Big C”) as Sully’s wife, Lorraine
Sullenberger.
Eastwood is directing the film from a screenplay by Todd
Komarnicki, based on the book Highest Duty by Sullenberger and Jeffrey Zaslow.
The project is being produced by Eastwood, Frank Marshall, Allyn Stewart and
Tim Moore, with Kipp Nelson and Bruce Berman serving as executive producers.
The film reunites Eastwood with several of his longtime
collaborators, who most recently worked with the director on the worldwide hit
“American Sniper”: director of photography Tom Stern and production designer
James J. Murakami, who were both Oscar-nominated for their work on “The
Changeling”; costume designer Deborah Hopper; and editor Blu Murray.
Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in association with Village
Roadshow Pictures, a Flashlight Films production, a Kennedy/Marshall Company
production, a Malpaso production, “Sully.” The film will be distributed
worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
