Don Cheadle, Bruce Greenwood Added To Denzel Washington’s ‘Flight’by Wilson Morales
September 21, 2011
Moviehole.net has learned that Don Cheadle and Bruce Greenwood have joined the cast of “Flight”, joining Denzel Washington and Kelly Reilly.
A thriller from acclaimed director Robert Zemeckis (“Beowulf”, “Back to the Future”), FLIGHT tells the redemption story of “Whip” (Washington), a commercial airline pilot who pulls off a heroic feat of flying in a damaged plane, saving 98 lives on a flight carrying 106 people. While the world begs to embrace him as a true American Hero, the everyman struggles with this label as he is forced to hold up to the scrutiny of an investigation that brings into question his behavior the night before the doomed flight.
For Cheadle, he will be reuniting with Washington since the two starred in the 1995 Carl Franklin neo-noir directed ‘Devil in a Blue Dress.’ Cheadle made an impression playing the role of Mouse Alexander.
The movie is set to begin shooting this October in Atlanta, GA.
