Sully Review
3 hours ago | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Tom Hanks starring in a movie about a recent American Hero, with Clint Eastwood at the helm, should be a shoe-in for some Oscar buzz. Eastwood made his name in movies playing silent heroes, men who got the job done efficiently and without the need for recognition, and he has followed this by directing movies […]

Film Review: Sully
3 hours ago | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »
★★★☆☆ 15 January 2009. Disbelieving eyes look skyward from apartments and offices in horror as Us Airways flight 1549 careens dangerously close to Manhattan rooftops before pitching into the Hudson River. The key to Sully's edge-of-your-seat success - and successful it is - is veteran director Clint Eastwood's ability to render the well-documented event and astonishing outcome as tense and immediate. He does so masterfully, no least by opening the film with nightmarish images of an aircraft hurtling into buildings, creating a fireball reminiscent of fateful footage from a little over seven years previously, etched in the collective Us memory.

‘Sully’ review: “Eastwood’s masculine melodrama is saved by Tom Hanks”

Sully Miracle On The Hudson review: Clint Eastwood directs Tom Hanks and Aaron Eckhart in this real-life drama.
Sully Miracle On The Hudson review, Jazmine Sky Bradley, November 2016.
While perhaps best known for playing the atypical ‘tough guy’ in classics such as The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Dirty Harry, when Clint Eastwood sits in the directors chair he likes to focus on the ‘American hero’ – think Million Dollar Baby, Flags of Our Fathers, American Sniper. His latest release, Sully, is no different, with its story celebrating Chesley ‘Sully’ Sullenberger, the American pilot who crash-landed a passenger jet into New York’s Hudson River and lived to tell the tale.
15th January 2009 started out as any other day for Sully (Tom Hanks) and co-pilot Jeff Skiles (Aaron Eckhart), setting out from La Guardia airport to North Carolina. However, within minutes of setting off, Sully reports back to air »

2017 Oscar Predictions: Best Picture
27 November 2016 10:32 PM, PST | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
With Sundance and Cannes behind us and the fall festivals winding up, the Oscar race is in full swing. Distributors are in full campaign mode for the 2016-17 awards season.

Launching at Sundance was Kenneth Lonergan’s emotionally devastating drama “Manchester By the Sea” (Roadside Attractions), starring acting contenders Casey Affleck, Michelle Williams and Lucas Hedges. Will Amazon Studios (with distributor Roadside Attractions) do better in the Oscar derby than rival Netflix did last year? They’re hoping so, by adopting a more theatrically friendly approach.
Don’t count out one of the most popular and well-reviewed films of the year, Jon Favreau’s Rudyard Kipling adaptation “The Jungle Book” (Disney). Like Ang Lee’s “Life of Pi,” the family film could emerge as a strong contender with support from all the crafts.
Another strong candidate is Focus Features’ “Loving,” the heart-tugging Jeff Nichols drama that »

Chesley Sullenberger: an old-fashioned kind of hero
27 November 2016 1:30 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Chesley ‘Sully’ Sullenberger became a global hero when he landed an airliner on New York’s Hudson river in 2009. Now played by Tom Hanks in a film by Clint Eastwood, he talks about how the experience changed him
In a voice that is preternaturally calm, Captain Chesley B “Sully” Sullenberger III is talking to me about turbulence. Members of the public, he says, often tell him how much turbulence perturbs them, and though he doesn’t remotely share their anxiety, he understands it perfectly. In the sky, after all, we cede control of our future to someone who is unknown to us. Most people, moreover, know very little about the construction of aircraft, much less the endlessly rehearsed systems that keep them above the clouds; we understand aerodynamics not at all. So when the long metal tube in which we are travelling begins to bob and buck, no wonder our hearts beat a little faster, »

Tom Hanks Reenacts Viral Bill Murray Photo: "Yeah, I Can Make That Face"
26 November 2016 10:24 AM, PST | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
So meta, Tom Hanks! Mom Laura Dimichele-Ross had in 2013 posted on Facebook a photo of Bill Murray making a crying face while posing with her and her sobbing son. The image went viral last month and many people wondered if the man pictured was not Murray, but Hanks. The latter star, who was in London to promote his new movie Sully, was asked for his take on the picture in an interview on The Graham Norton Show that aired Friday. "Well, I've been doing a pale imitation of Bull Murray for most of my career," Hanks joked. "It actually works out." "I know that it's not me, because I did not take that picture," he said, later adding, "Yeah, I can »

Tom Hanks Found Clint Eastwood ‘Intimidating as Hell’ and Says He ‘Treats His Actors Like Horses’
25 November 2016 12:48 PM, PST | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
Tom Hanks has had a pretty busy year, starring in three different films, hosting “Saturday Night Live” and was a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Hanks received the most acclaim for his performance as Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger in the Clint Eastwood film “Sully,” which garnered critical and commercial acclaim. Hanks recently appeared on The Graham Norton Show and discussed working with the veteran director and his intimidating style.

“He treats his actors like horses,” says Hanks, “because when he did the 60s series ‘Rawhide,’ the director would shout ‘Action!’ and all the horses bolted. So when he’s in charge, he says in a really quiet soft voice, ‘All right, go ahead,’ and instead of shouting ‘Cut!’ he says ‘That’s enough of that. »

Hell of a film-maker: the directors who make Clint Eastwood look soft
25 November 2016 8:19 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Tom Hanks said Eastwood was ‘intimidating as hell’ on the set of Sully and treated his actors ‘like horses’. He clearly hasn’t worked with these directorial terrors
In his acting heyday, Clint Eastwood was a taciturn maestro of understatement. In his Man With No Name or Dirty Harry periods, one eyebrow raised was usually enough to pitch even the most arrogant antagonist into throes of panic and self-doubt, while a simple curl of the lip usually signified that the nearest dude was a dead man walking. So it comes as no surprise to learn that Eastwood’s unusual directing style made Tom Hanks extremely nervous on the set of the true-life disaster movie Sully.

Oscars 2017: 11 female performances too good to be overlooked
25 November 2016 5:00 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
In a year overflowing with exceptional performances, many are bound to fall by the wayside this awards season. Here are some worthy of a closer inspection
Even with months to go before next year’s Academy Awards, and loads of vying films still to be unveiled, one thing about the race is certain: the pool of female actors is stacked. While Tom Hanks and Casey Affleck were arguably the only male actors to receive major awards momentum from the recent slate of fall film festivals (for their performances in Sully and Manchester by the Sea, respectively), a glut of their female colleagues have emerged as surefire contenders.

Actor tells Graham Norton Show he found director ‘intimidating as hell’ on set of Sully, where the real-life pilot he was playing also voiced opinions
Veteran actor Tom Hanks has likened Clint Eastwood’s directorial style to wrangling animals. Hanks worked with Eastwood for the first time on Sully, the story of a real-life feat of heroism in which his character, Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, safely landed an endangered plane New York’s Hudson river in 2009.
Hanks told the the Graham Norton Show: “You certainly don’t want one of those Eastwood looks.

The actor, who appears alongside Tom Hanks in Sully, admits he has fallen into traps during his career – and is determined to stop his Bleed for This co-star Miles Teller from doing the same
Hi Aaron. In your new movie, Bleed for This, you play the legendary boxing trainer Kevin Rooney, and you transformed physically, right down to the fake receding hairline.
You know, so much of this job is physical. So in Bleed for This, we see that my character has gained weight, he walks on the back of his heels, and these things tell us he’s tired, depressed, pissed off. I mean, I’ve studied body language, I see what you just did, shifting your weight, one side to the other. I saw your thought.

Steve Mnuchin: Questions for the Would-Be Treasury Secretary and, Now, Actor
23 November 2016 12:42 PM, PST | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Steve Mnuchin is on the brink of a coming-out party, and not just because President-elect Donald Trump has said he might name the Hollywood money-man U.S. Treasury Secretary.
Potential Cabinet post notwithstanding, Mnuchin is set to make his big screen debut this Thanksgiving weekend with a cameo role in Warren Beatty’s “Rules Don’t Apply.”
The financier — who has backed films ranging from “Black Mass” to “Suicide Squad” to “Mad Max: Fury Road” — was one of about a dozen one-percenters who stepped up to cover the $30 million budget of “Rules Don’t Apply,” which stars Beatty as aging billionaire Howard Hughes.
That got Mnuchin, 53, a producer credit, along with fellow investors who included Jeffrey Soros, Steve Bing, Ron Burkle and Arnon Milchan. Mnuchin also got an on-screen role as “Merrill Lynch Executive.” He appears in several scenes, remaining in the background while his boss, played by Oliver Platt, »

Managing Editor
One trend in the Oscar race this year seems to be films that are about recent events. This, of course, is not a new fad in cinema as hot-button topics have always lent themselves to being a solid jumping-off point for storytelling on the big screen. A few of the films grabbing attention this time around — Sully and Patriots Day for best picture as well as a few others from various categories — tackle some of the biggest recent events and narratives in recent memory.
Sully, directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Tom Hanks, tells the story of Chesley Sullenberger and the Miracle on the Hudson involving Us Airways Flight 1549 from January 15, 2009. This real-life event centers around a flight from New York City’s Laguardia Airport to Charlotte Douglas International Airport was forced to land in the »
