Hey Everyone, I'm Chelsea Cannell and you're watching clevver movies! Remember the captain who gave himself up as a hostage to a bunch of somali pirates in order to save his crew? That man was Captain Richard Phillips who will NOW be played by Mr. Tom Hanks according to Deadline. Phillips became famous when the pirates took over his boat, taking him into a small lifeboat where he sat with the armed vigilantes for 3 days before being saved by Navy seals. His story was made into a book, then Sony optioned the movie rights and now the captains memoir based on that horrible ordeal will play out on the big screen.

Sony's social network squad - which includes- Scott Rudin, Michael De Luca, Dana Brunetti and Kevin Spacey have all signed on to produce the film while the man who wrote "the Hunger Games," Billy Ray, will reportedly pen the project. The story was one that captured the media, but will the movie capture you at the Box office?
