Tom Hanks Is "Captain Phillips"



Sneak Peek the new trailer from director Paul Greengrass's "Captain Phillips", starring Tom Hanks as 'Captain Richard Phillips', who was taken hostage by Somali pirates in 2009 in exchange for the safety of his crew.


Cast also includes Catherine Keener, Max Martini, Barkhad Abdi, Barkhad Abdirahaman, Faysal Ahmed, Mahat M. Ali, Michael Chernus, Corey Johnson, Chris Mulkey, Yul Vazquez, and David Warshofsky:


"...'Captain Phillips' is director Paul Greengrass’s multi-layered examination of the 2009 hijacking of the US container ship 'Maersk Alabama' by a crew of Somali pirates. It is – through Greengrass’s distinctive lens – simultaneously a pulse-pounding thriller and a complex portrait of the myriad effects of globalization. The film focuses on the relationship between the Alabama’s commanding officer, 'Captain Richard Phillips'(Hanks) and his Somali counterpart, 'Muse' (Barkhad Abdi).


"Set on an incontrovertible collision course off the coast of Somalia, both men will find themselves paying the human toll for economic forces outside of their control. Screenplay is by Billy Ray based upon the book, 'A Captain’s Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs, and Dangerous Days at Sea', by Richard Phillips with Stephan Talty, produced by Scott Rudin, Dana Brunetti, and Michael De Luca..."
