Who will play Airbus' "Sully" ???

[Woodbutcher]

Airbus' Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger ....... Who's going to play his part then ?
Will it be Nicolas Cage, Bruce Willis, John Travolta (he's even got a pilots license?) or maybe Harrison Ford ?

 

[escargome]

I vote for Nicholas Cage..

 

[Woodbutcher]

I think I'm with you on that one Chris, think Con air ? Great film !

 

[Mary]

I think Harrison Ford looks the part.

 

[Ross]

How about if he plays himself?

How about if he plays himself?

That's an even better idea!

 

[Woodbutcher]

He seems to be a bit too camera shy for that ? Just not Hollywood enough really ?

 

[Karlynn]

Well, since Sully is a little older man - I vote for Chris Cooper. A well-known by work, but not necessarily by name, Hollywood character actor. (I'm a fan!) He was in The Bourne Identity, Breach (excellent movie about Robert Hansen), Sea Biscuit, Syriana and many more.

I see what you're saying Karlynn, and I like the way you're thinking outside the box... He can go on the short list...

Oh thank you! Do I get a commission if he gets the part???

I say William H Macey. He isn't a pilot but he was in the movie Air Force 1. Just dye his hair gray I think good fit. Steve Buscemmi as Mr. Pink the quirky flight attendant who sacrafices his last cordial bottle of scotch so that the old lady won't get frostbite. (OK I got a little carried away). Still William H Macey is my pick. Just think Fargo.

I vote for Harrison Ford if Sullenberger won't do it himself.

 

[Woodbutcher]

This is great stuff ! I love Mr Pink the quirky flight attendant sacraficing his scotch ! Fantastic ! Plus the real life bit about the officer giving the shirt off his back, wonderful, you couldn't write it (actually you could write that!).

 

[Woodbutcher]

The story hasn't yet broken about the amorous young couple desperate to join the mile high club who sadly came back to Earth with a huge premature splash !!!
Keep an eye on Sky !

Robert Hayes?

Rumack: Can you fly this plane, and land it?
Ted Striker: Surely you can't be serious.
Rumack: I am serious... and don't call me Shirley.

 

[geckley]

I am Serious And don't call me Sulley
