Clint Eastwood to helm Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger bioJune 3, 2015 - 10:00 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Clint Eastwood will direct an untitled biopic about the life of Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger for Warner Bros, the studio announced Tuesday, June 2, according to TheWrap. Sullenberger became an American hero when he landed his disabled jet on the Hudson River, saving the lives of everyone aboard. The film will go beyond Sullenberger’s almost impossible and much-heralded achievement of safely landing a jumbo jet on the water, which was captured on video and viewed around the world. Behind the scenes, a drama was unfolding that could have cost him his reputation and his wings. Eastwood will direct the film from a screenplay by Todd Komarnicki, based on the book “Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters,” by Sullenberger and Jeffrey Zaslow. The film is being produced by Eastwood and Tim Moore, for Malpaso; Frank Marshall, under the Kennedy/Marshall banner; and Allyn Stewart, for Flashlight Films.
