@Sean_P_Molloy: How does your approach change from playing a real life character compared to a fictional persona?

Tom Hanks: I do not want to alter reality when playing a real person. What happened? That's all I ask.

@JustinLitke24: Did you have to learn the controls of the Airbus A320 or talk to [Chesley] Sullenberger in order to accurately portray the flight?

Tom Hanks: Flew the simulator in San Jose. With Sully standing behind me!


@mennomonet: How has filmmaking changed from when you first started acting to now?

Tom Hanks: No playback monitors back then.

@lotty_SFX: How did this role differ from other roles that you've done?

Tom Hanks: Two words. White hair.
@A_Samir94: Do you have the original Wilson in your home :D

Tom Hanks: He floated away.
@jdwalters85: Has your career gone through stages in terms of the kind of projects you wanted to take on?

Tom Hanks: I got older, which took some part away but opened up a lot more. You can't play young when you are no longer young.

@ItsTheFilmmaker: What was it like filming on IMAX cameras and what did you think of the final glorious IMAX result?

Tom Hanks: Didn't notice the difference! We shot digital and have yet to see it. Glad it's not in 3D!
