Given the penchant of the powers that be to race to make movies about 'interesting' real life events, whoever makes the "Miracle on the Hudson" movie is going to be hard pressed to attract viewers.
It's like the dumb ass Valkerie Bertinelli movie with Tom Cruise. Everyone knows how it ends, and without Kate Winslet to lie there nude, who cares about history?
All they can do to try to make "Miracle on the Hudson" interesting is to fictionalize what was going on in the lives of some of the crew and passengers. I don't think they dare make up anything about "Sully" other than to perhaps suggest that he had to go back into the cockpit one last time to retrieve the St. Joseph's bobble head doll he always taped to the yoke. (steering wheel, to the rest of you.)
Screen writers are good at making interesting movies 'based on a true story.' So we can expect a lot of drama in the personal lives of enough crew and passengers so that the eight minutes the actual miracle took can be fortified with 90 minutes of flash back and 10 minutes of expository resolutions. Or they can decide to go with the Al Qeada geese angle.
But really, having "Sully" played by Angelina Jolie, nude, would really, really help.

A few things as I'm feeling verbose today:
I will immediately lose respect if anyone does make that movie. Come on, it was no miracle, it was merely the supreme skills of a pilot and let's not forget, co-pilot also who used their skills to land that thing and a lot of good fortune like daylight, calm water etc, etc. No miracle. God had nothing to do with it, it was the flight crew who did it. Everyone needs to shut up with their "miracle" business.
Angelina Jolie would be good to have in a cockpit only as she has built in flotation devices one could use during a water landing.
I'd pay for the Al Quaeda geese angle though. That's genius.
this is why i don't see movies or really watch TV. i'm not uppity, but most of it is just so stupid. i wonder if it will be a fox made for tv movie or a lifetime made for tv movie?
jilly
Angelina Jolie needs to eat a few of those geese or she ain't gonna float anywhere. That chicks a toothpick.
And how apropos, my WV is repreg. How many kids is she going to have?
I'll take the opportunity to add here there the really annoying thing about reality TV and movies inspired by real life is that it's all so unrealistic!
