The 15:17 to Paris-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IC_lnyn2R2Q
I didn’t know about the 15:17 to Paris, but I’m very familiar with the real story it’s based on. Members on here might remember I used to have in my signature a message looking for co-writers for a train themed comedy movie. I have been battling Lyme disease the last 5 years and thankfully it hasn’t killed me and I’m working still. I have notes written down and a basic concept for it. I didn’t think I have it in me to write a comedy strongly based on Trains with lots of one liners so I let the story morph based on life experiences, life dreams and my vast imagination. Trains would still be part of the movie but not all over every minute of it.
I thought that a realistic TV Show Drama based on working for and running a Class 2 railroad might work myself. Think Dallas but instead of Oil its Railroads.
My understanding is the 15:17 to Paris is directed by Clint Eastwood and is using the actual men involved in portraying themselves on the screen.
Actually there’s 3 train movies if you count “Murder on the you know what.”
