On August 21, 2015, three young Americans thwarted a terrorist attack on a train headed for Paris. Clint Eastwood just directed the movie of their story, The 15:17 to Paris, and it stars those actual three men: Anthony Sadler, Oregon National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos, and U.S. Air Force Airman First Class Spencer Stone. As casting stunts go it may not pay off, but count me intrigued. It’s a daring move, and those are always worth trying, especially when you have the credibility capital of someone like Eastwood. If it captures the power of this trailer – fueled by the inspiring words of a preacher – then they’ll have succeeded. Co-starring Jenna Fischer, Judy Greer, and Tony Hale, The 15:17 to Paris opens on February 9, 2018.
Wow…great trailer. Some of that was filmed here in Atlanta. I got to meet several of the extras that worked on it and one and all were amazed at the stamina and professionalism of Mr. Eastwood. He just keeps on keeping on.
