So.... who's going to play Captain Phillips in the movie?

[scheming daemons]

Russell Crowe?

Nicolas Cage?

Harrison Ford?



Who's it going to be?


You know this story has Hollywood written all over it.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. George Clooney, of course.

[Phoonzang]

3. Of course the last time he played a ship's captain it didn't end so well..

[Spazito]

6. LOL, he was my first thought too...

but I'm holding out for Harrison Ford even though Clooney WAS good in The Perfect Storm.

[Bobbie Jo]

17. Of course!

:loveya:

[joshcryer]

20. Epic. Make it so.

[ChazII]

2. Cage

Out of the choices provided.

[Uzybone]

4. Kenny Rogers!

[jobycom]

5. Dennis Quaid.

Give him a beard, you got it.

[NoSheep]

19. Oh that's a good one

[cherish44]

27. I think this is the best suggestion I've seen so far

[Ian David]

7. I think it's about time Bobcat Goldthwaite got a real, serious role.

"I-I-I lost my ship! I MeEEEan...I didn't LOSE my ship. I-I-I still KNOW where it is... but now there's some new guy doing it! AGggggH!"

[jobycom]

[Ian David]

[Aqaba]

[elleng]

11. HARRISON FORD,

WHO ELSE?

[Patsy Stone]

13. Ben Affleck nt

[BlooInBloo]

14. Clooney, of course.

[MikeNearMcChord]

15. Who will play the right -wing nuts?

I want Sean Penn to play Bill O'Reilly:smoke:

[RoadRage]

16. Sean Connery...

OF COURSE.

This has former bond dude written all over it.. exchanges his life for the safety of his crew.. tries his own dramatic escape?

Connery. Sean Connery.

[cherish44]

26. ack Connery's gotta be pushing 80 years old

Phillips is probably in his late 40s or so

[NoSheep]

18. AHHHHH Russell Crowe was my answer before I saw yours!!

[MissDeeds]

31. Same here

He was awesome in 'Master and Commander' and can morph into any character. He's got my vote.

[baldguy]

21. Thom Hartman!

[mucifer]

22. that's hilarious!!

:rofl:

[DrToast]

23. I can't be the only one that has noticed the resemblance...

[GiveMeFreedom]

25. In the comedic release maybe

Paul Krugman is surrounded by Somali pirates in the small life boat. He is blabbering on about economic theory and global recessions which forces two of the pirates to stick their heads out side of the small enclosure to try an get away. Mean while the third pirate reaches for the ak-47, points it a Krugman and threatens to shoot him if doesn't shut up, Blamo!, the pirates are dead and another economist saves the world.

[karynnj]

32. lol - I did

My first thought seeing him was - he looks so much like someone - then I realized -- Krugman.

[empyreanisles]

24. Tim Robbins. (n/t)

[vaberella]

28. How about my mum's favorites?! Richard Gere or Patrick Swayze! n/t

[Puzzler]

29. How about William Petersen?

The guy who played Gil Grissom from CSI? The captain looks just like him in the most recent photos of him on the navy ship.

[Vinca]

30. Ben Affleck - there's a real resemblance. nt
