Gerard Butler (300, P.S. I Love You) has signed on to star in an action thriller called The Plane. The film is based on a book by Charles Cumming, who also adapted the script. Variety provides the following description of the story:
The Plane is a real-time action thriller that follows commercial pilot Ray Torrance (Butler), who after a heroic job of successfully landing his storm-damaged aircraft in a war zone, finds himself caught between the agendas of multiple militia who are planning to take the plane and its passengers’ hostage. As the world’s authorities and media search for the disappeared aircraft Ray must rise to the occasion and keep his passengers safe long enough for help to arrive.
This sounds like it will be a pretty exciting movie. Anytime I see the name though, I can only think of Tattoo from Fantasy Island saying, “Da plane, boss! Da plane!”. If you don’t know that reference, you’re too young. I’m too young too, just for the record, but still know the reference. But I digress.
I love Gerard Butler, and I’m excited to see him in another action flick. How about you?
