The 15:17 to Paris featurette explores the casting of its real-life heroes

December 16, 2017 by Amie Cranswick

Following on from the first trailer [watch it here], Warner Bros. has released a featurette for the upcoming biographical drama The 15:17 to Paris which sees director Clint Eastwood discussing the true story behind the film and casting the actual real-life heroes Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos, and Spencer Stone as themselves; watch the featurette here…

In the early evening of August 21, 2015, the world watched in stunned silence as the media reported a thwarted terrorist attack on Thalys train #9364 bound for Paris—an attempt prevented by three courageous young Americans travelling through Europe. The film follows the course of the friends’ lives, from the struggles of childhood through finding their footing in life, to the series of unlikely events leading up to the attack. Throughout the harrowing ordeal, their friendship never wavers, making it their greatest weapon and allowing them to save the lives of the more than 500 passengers on board.

The 15:17 to Paris is out on February 9th.
