Captain Phillips ~ They Are Not Here To Fish!


A new trailer for Sony/Columbia picture's "Captain Phillips," starring Tom Hanks due out in October.

In the trailer below, Captain Richard Phillips (Tom Hanks) calls for help when he spots raft approaching fast towards his ship the Maersk Alabama and he his told that they are just there to fish.  Phillips reply is "They are not here to fish!"


Here is Columbia Pictures official synopsis:
"Captain Phillips is director Paul Greengrass’s multi-layered examination of the 2009 hijacking of the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates.  It is—through Greengrass’s distinctive lens—simultaneously a pulse-pounding thriller and a complex portrait of the myriad effects of globalization.  The film focuses on the relationship between the Alabama’s commanding officer, Captain Richard Phillips (two time Academy Award® winner Tom Hanks), and his Somali counterpart, Muse (Barkhad Abdi).  Set on an incontrovertible collision course off the coast of Somalia, both men will find themselves paying the human toll for economic forces outside of their control.  The film is directed by Academy Award nominee Paul Greengrass, from a screenplay by Billy Ray and based upon the book, A Captain’s Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs, and Dangerous Days at Sea, by Richard Phillips with Stephan Talty.  The film is produced by Scott Rudin, Dana Brunetti, and Michael De Luca. "
