Tom Hanks is in negotiations to portray Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger in Clint Eastwood ’s take on the true-life heroism dubbed Miracle on the Hudson. Sullenberger and his crew had just taken off from LaGuardia Airport when both engines were knocked out by a flock of Canada geese. The veteran pilot quickly realized there was no time to return to LaGuardia or reach another airport, so he made the decision to attempt a water landing on the Hudson.
