[Tenebrous]

Tom is looking awesome, and I've always got time for Clint... Sure, I'll check it out (eventually).

 

[BriGuy]

He landed a plane in a lake. How do you stretch that over two hours.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I was hoping this was about Uncharted.

 

[Pryce]

Man Hanks looks good. 10/10.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

He landed a plane in a lake. How do you stretch that over two hours.

They can show the time he landed a plane in a river too.

 

[strafer]

Tom is great.

 

[Maintenance]

He landed a plane in a lake. How do you stretch that over two hours.

Flashbacks, slow motion, pointless drama.

 

[TheUntamedLegend]

He landed a plane in a lake. How do you stretch that over two hours.

They can cover all of the milking and hero worship.

 

[KadeYuy]

He landed a plane in a lake. How do you stretch that over two hours.

I was thinking the same thing... Like what the guy did was fantastic but also not movie length

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Yeah, I met that guy. He's not that great. You know what a great pilot would have done? Not hit the birds. That's what I do every day. Not hit birds. Where's my ticket to the Grammys?

 

[Skellig Gra]

I was hoping this was about Uncharted.

haha I had the same thought

 

[Gordon Shumway]

I was hoping this was about Uncharted.

Right? 😢

 

[DoktorEvil]

I was hoping this was about Uncharted.

Man, I'd pay an arm and a leg to see Hanks play Sully in a live action Uncharted adaptation.

 

[NealMcCauley]

He landed a plane in a lake. How do you stretch that over two hours.

For starters, a tense three minute scene where Sully has to decide if the bird is carrying an ied and how to respond.

Omg

 

[BobTheFork]

The first hour will contain some fictional drama they add about his life and conflict.

The second hour will all be the landing.

I thought it was a river.

 

[milanbaros]

Yep. The first hour will be drama set ups for the pilot and a few of the passengers. This will all be used in the landing scene to provide emotional weight.

 

[Steveo]

I thought it was a river.

I thought it was a large pool.

 

[steadfast]

So Tom Hanks has been a Captain in:

Army (Saving Private Ryan)
NASA (Apollo 13)
Merchant Marine (Captain Phillips)
Commercial Airline (Sully)

Land, air, sea, space -- pretty sure he can retire having completed the grand slam.

He's now Navy Seal.

 

[RumblingRosco]

Oscar nomination here we go.

You're forgetting one.

Spoiler

Worth the double-post.

 

[norm9]

Passengers will include single mom talking on phone with estranged daughter, ex-criminal (possibly black or Latino) trying to turn his life around, old married couple, and possibly a Muslim dude that nobody initially likes but becomes Joe the Plumber by the end.

 

[dave is ok]

He landed a plane in a lake. How do you stretch that over two hours.

Maybe make up a villain pilot who used to land planes on water in the Syrian Olympics or something.

 

[keltickennedy]

Who do you think will be the better fake pilot? Tom Hanks or Denzel Washington?

 

[BUNTING1243]

I was hoping this was about Uncharted.

A movie about an American white guy killing hundreds of brown people would definitely be in Clint Eastwood's wheelhouse!

 

[IISANDERII]

HALT PRODUCTION CANCEL EVERYTHING

 

[numble]

Norm Macdonald already showed us how the portrayal would work.

[SimleuqiR]

I would assume they will follow characters' story lines in the movie until the money shot.

 

[PK Strawstorm]

This is shaping up to be my best 2 hour nap in years.

 

[massoluk]

He landed a plane in a lake. How do you stretch that over two hours.

Flashback, lots of flashback. And obligatory romantic subplot, "I have to survive and go back to her!"

 

[RustyNails]

The bird takes over the cockpit and tells captain Sully "look at me. I'm the captain", as captain sully's lips quiver in despair

 

[Fury451]

I was hoping this was about Uncharted.

He actually looks like he would fit the part from that picture there.

 

[BriGuy]

I thought it was a river.

What is a river if not a stretched out lake?

 

[Krappadizzle]

The bird takes over the cockpit and tells captain Sully "look at me. I'm the captain", as captain sully's lips quiver in despair

"and all Cpt. Sully could muster in disbelief was, "Krakohzia?"

 

[DOWN]

Tom Hanks and these bland biopics are killing me.

 

[Troy]

This is the kind of movie I'd expect to see on ABC Family. In the summer. On a Friday. Just not interesting.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I was hoping this was about Uncharted.

Yeah I read this title all kinds of wrong. Thought it said Tony Hawk was playing Captain Sully and I thought as well it was uncharted related.

 

[dehydratedbabies]

No T. Hanks.

 

[Skelter]

He landed a plane in a lake. How do you stretch that over two hours.

I thought the same of Flight. Who knows, could be good.

 

[Sapiens]

He landed a plane in a lake. How do you stretch that over two hours.

Maybe he is a secret furry and he goes to a few conventions.

 

[dankir]

Was confused, thought Tom Hanks was playing Sully from Uncharted. This is the pilot that landed that plane in the Hudson river.

 

[Trouble]

Yeah, I met that guy. He's not that great. You know what a great pilot would have done? Not hit the birds. That's what I do every day. Not hit birds. Where's my ticket to the Grammys?

Yeah! F U Sully, bird hitting motherfucker.

 

[Kinyou]

I thought the same of Flight. Who knows, could be good.

I had already trouble with staying interested while watching Flight and in comparison is the stuff that happens there magnitudes more spectacular than this.

 

[Lucky Forward]

Yeah, I met that guy. He's not that great. You know what a great pilot would have done? Not hit the birds. That's what I do every day. Not hit birds. Where's my ticket to the Grammys?

Yeah! F U Sully, bird hitting motherfucker.

Wrong.

Now after seeing this photo, Hanks HAS to play Sully in the Uncharted movie. he looks perfect.

Chris Pratt as Drake and Hanks as Sully.

 

[strafer]

Sully in Uncharted isn't even a pilot...why think this was about the game?
