Paul Greengrass’ Tom Hanks-Starring ‘Captain Phillips’ Set For A March 22nd 2013 Release
Sony Pictures has pencilled in a March 22nd 2013 release date for Paul Greengrass‘ (The Bourne Ultimatum, United 93) ‘Captain Phillips.’ The film stars Tom Hanks, the man generally revered as the nicest guy in Hollywood and all round great actor, as the titular Captain Richard Phillips. ‘Captain Phillips’ is an adaptation of Phillips’ memoir ‘A Captain’s Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs, and Dangerous Days at Sea.’
Captain Richard Phillips was the Captain of the cargo ship Maersk Alabama who gave himself up as a hostage to Somali pirates to keep his crew from having to leave the ship with them. After three days alone with the armed pirates in a small lifeboat, Phillips was saved by Navy SEALs who staged a raid that left three captors dead and another in custody. Billy Ray wrote the screenplay, while Scott Rudin, Michael De Luca, Dana Brunetti, and Kevin Spacey (the team behind The Social Network) are producing.
