Ohhhh, living in Seattle is sometimes such a frustration when it comes to this job and you’re invited to events in New York and Los Angeles. This Sunday Robert Zemeckis‘ Flight will close the New York Film Festival and, according to Google Maps, I live 2,861 miles away and I don’t think I’m up for a 46 hour drive. Oh well, I’m seeing it just under two weeks from today anyway so such is life, but I’m hoping for something great.
Starring Denzel Washington, Flight features Whip Whitaker (Washington), a seasoned airline pilot who miraculously crash-lands his plane after a mid-air catastrophe, saving nearly every soul on board. After the crash, Whip is hailed as a hero, but as more is learned, more questions than answers arise as to who or what was really at fault, and what really happened on that plane?
A brand new TV spot for the film has just arrived and can be seen below. The film hits theaters on November 2, but I’m sure we’ll be hearing initial reactions soon enough.
