IN TWEET: IT’S TOM HANKS VS. SOMALI PIRATES IN “CAPTAIN PHILLIPS.” ONE OF THE MOST INTENSE TRAILERS I’VE SEEN IN MONTHS.
The Summer movie season is barely underway and, already, studios are promoting their tentpole Fall releases. Makes sense, of course. Strike while the people are in seats and packing theaters across the country. When I went to see THE GREAT GATSBY (click for my review), the last thing I expected was a trailer this intense for a movie starring Tom Hanks. It came straight out of left field.
CAPTAIN PHILLIPS is based on the true story of the Maersk Alabama hijacking by Somali pirates in 2009. The trailer is particularly strong. Check it out below.
