TOM HANKS has been cast as heroic sea captain RICHARD PHILLIPS in a new movie.
Phillips hit the headlines in 2009 when his cargo ship was stormed by Somali pirates. He offered himself as a hostage, providing the rest of his crew was allowed to sail away.
He was finally rescued by Navy SEALs and wrote about his ordeal in the book A Captain's Duty. (KL/WNWC/MT) *WENN
