The
first design is the domestic one-sheet showing a long shot of two pirates
climbing up a ship, while the other, which showcases leading man Hanks, is the
international design.
The
film is the true story of Captain Richard Phillips (Hanks) and the 2009
hijacking by Somali pirates of the US-flagged MV Maersk Alabama, the first
American cargo ship to be hijacked in two hundred years. Phillips, married
father of two, surrendered himself to a group of four Somali pirates in order
to protect his crew off the coast of Africa. After an unsuccessful escape
attempt, he was subsequently rescued when US Navy SEAL snipers shot and killed
three of the pirates.
“Captain
Phillips” is directed by Oscar-nominee Paul Greengrass (“United 93,” “The
Bourne Ultimatum”) 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.
Opening
across the Philippines in October 2013, “Captain Phillips” is distributed by
Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International. Visit
