Director Paul Greengrass is currently circling two movie projects as he attempts to decide how to follow up last year’s political thriller Green Zone.
The first is a movie based on the novel A Captain’s Duty . It tracks the real-life encounter between a merchant vessel and Somali pirates.
It’s currently going under the gauche title Maersk Alabama , and has Tom Hanks attached to play Captain Richard Phillips.
The other film piquing Greengrass’ interest is Rush . A Formula One film scripted by Peter Morgan ( The Queen ), it follows racer Niki Lauda’s eventful 1976 season, which saw the driver involved in a near-fatal crash.
Two very different projects, then, but both equally enticing – though the chance to see Greengrass apply his distinct, tension-cranking visual style to a Formula One film definitely gets our vote.
With Green Zone considered something of a box office failure last year, Greengrass is wisely taking time choosing his next film. We can’t wait to see what his final decision is…
