Captain Phillips. Release - Oct 11th. Director - Paul Greengrass.
Captain Phillips is a picture that I am really looking forward to. I am a huge fan of Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump (1994) and Castaway (2000)), who takes the leading role in this action-thriller. The film is a biopic of Captain Richard Phillips (Hanks) who was taken hostage by Somalian pirates. This is a horrifyingly true story of what occurred during the Maersk Alabama hijacking in 2009.
Director of The Bourne Supremacy (2004) and The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) Paul Greengrass directs this picture, and his appointment almost guarantees a full-throttled and emotional account of the events of 2009. I expect an accurate and harrowing portrayal of the hijacking, and I have also read that Hanks gives one of his greatest performances yet.
I recommend watching the 2006 movie United 93 (one of the top films of 2006) which was directed by Greengrass. This is a film that really shows off Greengrass' ability behind the camera and gives you a clue at what to expect in Captain Phillips.
