I always watch those air-accident programmes. But considering they use plenty of technical stuff and interviews to pad out 50 minutes, what in the name of Xenu are they going to do with 120? Especially as the pilot will be "Clear" and able to set her down with the power of his miiiiiiiind. "Airport" and that one about the Hawaiian disaster, and hell even Pushing Tin have pretty much sewn the dramatic bits up. But if there were to be an "inspired by" film, the role would rightfully belong to William H. Macy.

What a ma-ROON! Good, because the producers and creative team are probably not planning to offer him the role.

I agree Syko that there's not enough material there for a movie. I did see United 93 and I did think it was really well done (you can't go wrong with Paul Greengrass) but there was much more to work with in terms of the actual events inside the plane.

I was thinking the same as you, geronimo, when I was reading it. Not exactly enough going on there to fill 90 minutes, is there? Take off, hit a few birds, engines go out, set her down like a jetski, climb out on the wings, get picked up by boats. A wonderful thing but not the stuff of which movies are made.

Because he trains for emergencies like this? Is Tom part of the emergency services? Tom aside, fab story, extraordinary courage and presence of mind from the pilot but don't really think there's a movie in it. They took off and then they landed. It would require too much padding out and the facts don't need embellishing, and particularly not by Cruise. Tom knows what it’s like? Because he trains for emergencies like this?
