Warner Bros. Pictures has unleashed the first trailer for the Sully biopic. Variety reports that the story for this film adaptation comes from Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger’s 2009 autobiography, Highest Duty (written with Jeffrey Zaslow).
According to Slate, four-time Academy Award winner Clint Eastwood served as the director of this project. The video embedded above features scenes of two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks playing the titular character.
Here’s more from Entertainment Weekly: “On January 15, 2009, American pilot Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger (Hanks) heroically landed troubled US Airways Flight 1549 full of passengers on the Hudson River after it struck a flock of geese shortly after takeoff from New York City’s LaGuardia Airport. The trailer highlights the moments during Sully’s landing, interweaving it with the events of the aftermath, showing what the pilot was forced to go through both personally and professionally.” (via Yahoo!
