According to Variety, Paul Greengrass is directing from a Billy Ray script.
Scott Rudin, Michael DeLuca, Kevin Spacey and Dana Brunetti are producing.
Tom Hanks will play Phillips, whose Maersk Alabama was captured by Somali pirates in spring 2009. Phillips, in order to save his crew, offered himself as a hostage to the pirates. He was eventually rescued by the U.S. Navy.
The story created a media sensation and Sony purchased the rights soon after.
Keener will play Phillips' wife, Andrea.
She'll be seen in the upcoming film "Peace, Love and Misunderstanding."
