Directed by Clint Eastwood. Due to hit the theaters in February 2018.

You all remember the three American tourists who took down a terrorist on a train in France. This is a movie about that.

The three actors who play the three young men are extraordinary. They grab your eyes on the screen. And they look exactly like the three Americans. Well, there's an explanation for why that is...

Clint was talking to the three Americans, he looked at their faces, he looked at their demeanor and how they handled themselves, and he decided to ask them if they would be willing to play themselves in his movie.

The movie is a bit like Clint's earlier movie Sully, in which a veteran pilot suddenly loses both of his plane's engines to bird strikes above New York City and expertly glides the airliner back to a very difficult water landing in the Hudson River.

It's about ordinary people suddenly and unexpectedly confronting challenging circumstances, reaching deep within themselves and... finding something, the ability to triumph. It's about real-life heroism.

Clint's right, these guys had to play themselves.  

The trailer is here:

This is a movie that I think that I really want to see.

At first I didn't think there'd be enough in that event to constitute a whole movie. But come to find out the movie is based on a book by one of the young men detailing their lives and that incident. So that should provide enough material for a two hour movie.
