Revealed: Behind-the-scenes footage of Clint Eastwood and Tom Hanks on set of Sully
Clint Eastwood’s new movie, Sully, brings to life the untold story of one of the most historical events in aviation history. Watch the two screen veterans on set of the movie that is to be released next week. The clip above includes teasers from the movie and a some on-set action.
Starring Tom Hanks, the heart-pounding drama recounts the events of what is known as “the miracle on the Hudson”. On January 15, 2009, Captain “Sully” Sullenberger did the impossible. After assumed double engine failure, he successfully glided his aircraft onto the frosty surface of the Hudson river, saving the lives of all 155 souls on board.
The heroic tale did not end there though. Even as Sully was praised by the public and the media for his incredible skills, an investigation unfolded that questioned if the risky landing was necessary at all, and threated the pilot’s entire career.
Recalling his experience working with the legendary Eastwood, Tom Hanks said, “I don’t think anyone but Clint could make this movie. He’s a master film maker”.
When the director was asked about the process of casting, he proudly responded, “Tom was one of the first people we thought about”.
