>In an unconventional move, Clint Eastwood has tapped Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos, and Spencer Stone to play themselves in his next movie, “The 15:17 to Paris.” The film will tell the story of the three Americans who stopped a terrorist on a train bound for Paris.
>Jenna Fischer, Judy Greer, and Ray Corasani will also join the real-life heroes in the film. Paul-Mikel Williams, Max Ivutin, Bryce Gheisa, Cole Eichenberger, and William Jennings, who will play younger versions of the Sadler, Skarlatos and Stone.
>The casting move is similar to Eastwood’s “Gran Torino,” which featured an almost unknown cast outside of Eastwood, who also starred in the movie.
>Following the news that this would be his follow-up to the box office hit “Sully,” Eastwood began a wide-ranging search for the actors who would portray the three Americans. It seemed the studio and Eastwood had their choices but at the eleventh hour have decided to have Sadler, Skarlatos and Stone portray themselves.
Eastwood is the last great filmmaker to make American stories.

Clint wanted a real life woman so she must doesn't look like a hollywood actress, therefore, a JUSTed actress was the way to go

That's pretty fucking cool. They don't even have to fake their emotions, they can just rely on memory.
I only hope their acting coaches are good enough for the rest of the film.

I think Clint will go for a 90 minutes movie at much.
Clint only does like 3-4 takes per scene, so better be they good or Clint will pull a Malick's editing on them.

That's fine.
But what's with the "stretch out a few minutes of action to an entire movie" meme?

>>84875562
The funny thing is, no matter how much you meme about it, it literally happened in real life.
I think that's why Clint chose to make this move - why create a fantasy story out of this event when it's a real story that happened not that long ago? It's more impactful to use the actual guys who stopped the attack.
