Tags

Watch out for "The Finest Hours" movie next year!

Premier date for the film is tentative but it will come out within 2015. The disaster drama is directed by Craig Gillespie and written by Eric Johnson and Paul Tamasy. Based on Wikipedia, the 2015 movie is based on the 2009 novel of the same name by Casey Sherman and Michael J. Tougias.

Additionally, the publication added the movie is based on a true story of the Pendleton rescue mission attempt by Coast Guard ships, when a storm hit and split asunder two oil tankers in 1952.

The plot summary provided by Coming Soon reads:

"In February of 1952, one of the worst storms to ever hit the East Coast struck New England, damaging an oil tanker off the coast of Cape Cod and literally ripping it in half. On a small lifeboat faced with frigid temperatures and 70-foot high waves, four members of the Coast Guard set out to rescue the more than 30 stranded sailors trapped aboard the rapidly-sinking vessel. "The Finest Hours" is the story of their heroic mission, which is still considered the greatest small boat rescue in Coast Guard history."

This is also another Walt Disney movie for 2015 (apart from 3D animated films). The mains casts are Chris Pine, Casey Affleck, Holliday Grainger, Ben Foster, and Eric Bana.

As per Deadline, the "Troy" actor, Eric Bana will play the role of Daniel Cluff. This character is a respected Coast Guard warrant officer and point supervisor to Bernie (Chris Pine). A little spoiler about this movie shared by Deadline: Daniel Cluff orders Bernie to venture the dangerous rescue mission despite his wife's wishes.

Apart from this movie, Bana will also appear on "Secret Scripture", directed by Jim Sheridan. The movie premiere date is also tentative, but set to come out within 2015. As per IMBD, the plot reads:

"A woman keeps a diary of her extended stay at a mental hospital."

Based on Wikipedia, the 2015 film is based on 2008 novel written by Irish writer Sebastian Barry, with the same name. The plot summary from Wikipedia reads:

"The main character is a one-hundred-year-old woman, Roseanne McNulty, who now resides in the Roscommon Regional Mental Hospital. Having been a patient for some fifty years or more, Roseanne decides to write an autobiography. She calls it "Roseanne's testimony of herself" and charts her life and that of her parents, living in Sligo at the turn of the 20th Century. She keeps her story hidden under the loose floorboard in her room, unsure as yet if she wants it to be found. The second narrative is the "commonplace book" of the current chief Psychiatrist of the hospital, Dr Grene. The hospital now faces imminent demolition. He must decide who of his patients are to be transferred, and who must be released into the community. He is particularly concerned about Roseanne, and begins tentatively to attempt to discover her history. It soon becomes apparent that both Roseanne and Dr Grene have differing stories as to her incarceration and her early life, but what is consistent in both narratives is that Roseanne fell victim to the religious and political upheavals in Ireland in the 1920s - 1930s."
