Paul Greengrass has seen his name attached to a number of projects in recent months — from Cleopatra to Memphis to The Deep Blue Good-by — but it appears the director is finally closing in on a follow-up to Green Zone. Deadline reports that Sony has made an offer to Greengrass to take the reins on the adaptation of Richard Phillips’ Somali pirates survival memoir, A Captain’s Duty. Tom Hanks is attached to star as Phillips. [Deadline]
