BIG PICTURE RIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES NEWS STORIES THAT CAME TO A THEATER NEAR YOU by Daniel Loria Captain Phillips and The Fifth Estate are just the latest examples of films that have been ripped from the headlines. Argo took home last year’s Academy Award for Best Picture, and a number of other films have tackled subjects from recent memory, as well. BoxOffice takes a look at Captain Phillips and six other recent features that have also dramatized real-life events on the big screen. CAPTAIN PHILLIPS Release date: October 11, 2013 Based on events from: April 8–12, 2009 In 2009, a crew of teenage Somali pirates was responsible for the first pirate hijacking of an American vessel since the 19th century. The occupation of the Maersk Alabama shed light on the global problem of pirate attacks from Somalia, a topic that had previously been on the fringes of U.S. media. The pirates asked for extortion money but got Navy SEALs instead. Director Paul Greengrass already proved himself by dramatizing the 9/11 attacks with his real-time take of the events in United 93, a critically lauded film that couldn’t find much box office traction in its theatrical release. Captain Phillips tackles less traumatic subject matter for the national psyche and is already garnering strong reviews. Starring Tom Hanks and selected as the opening film of this year’s New York Film Festival, Captain Phillips is entering the fall season as one of the highlights of the release schedule.
