According to Warner Bros. on Wednesday, the three of the men who thwarted a terrorist attack on a Paris train in 2015 will star as themselves in Clint Eastwood’s upcoming film, "The 15:17 to Paris." The movie will reportedly follow the lives of the three men, Anthony Sadler, Oregon National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos, and U.S. Air Force Airman First Class Spencer Stone, leading up to the incident in which the trio stopped an alleged ISIS terrorist from launching a gun attack. Eastwood’s movie is based on a book written by the men and author Jeffrey E. Stern, titled, "The 15:17 to Paris: The True Story of a Terrorist, a Train, and Three American Heroes."<\/figcaption><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"single-post-video","format":"video","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":26,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1908],"class_list":["post-20012","post","type-post","status-publish","format-video","hentry","category-video","post_format-post-format-video"],"acf":{"subheadline":"According to Warner Bros. on Wednesday, the three of the men who thwarted a terrorist attack on a Paris train in 2015 will star as themselves in Clint Eastwood's upcoming film, "The 15:17 to Paris."
