At the grand age of 85, Clint Eastwood finds himself the hottest director in Hollywood, following the barnstorming box-office success of Iraq war drama American Sniper. Now the Oscar-winning film-maker has revealed his next movie will tell the story of another all-American hero: veteran pilot Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger. Sullenberger piloted US Airways Flight 1549 into the Hudson river on 15 January 2009, saving the lives of all 155 passengers and crew on board. The Airbus A320 had hit a flock of Canada geese during its climb out of nearby LaGuardia airport in Queens, New York.
