Laura Linney To Join Tom Hanks In New Clint Eastwood Movie

Clint Eastwood's next movie is a biopic of Captain Chelsey "Sully" Sullenberger. And Tom Hanks has confirmed to star as Captain Sully.

Last week, we heard that Aaron Eckhart is set to play the co-pilot to Captain Sully. And yesterday, Deadline reported that Oscar nominated actress Laura Linney is set to play the captain's wife, Lorrie Sullenberger. 

Captain Sully became an overnight hero back in 2009 when he skillfully guided the US Airways Flight 1549 and made an emergency landing on the Hudson River, saving everyone onboard.

No word yet on a release date, nor an official title, but I'm going to guess it will be out late 2016.
