Paul Greengrass’ Captain Phillips to open London Film Festival | News | Screen
The 57th BFI London Film Festival (Oct 9-20) will open on October 9 at the Odeon Leicester Square with Paul Greengrass’ anticipated thriller Captain Phillips, starring Tom Hanks.
Sony’s likely awards contender charts the 2009 hijacking of the US container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates.
Tom Hanks has been widely tipped for awards recognition for his portrayal of Phillips, who becomes engaged in a tense standoff with his Somali counterpart, Muse (Barkhad Abdi).
Hanks and Greengrass will both attend the festival.
