Who will play “Sully” Sullenberger in the inevitable “Miracle on the Hudson” flick?

I figure that the “Miracle on the Hudson” will soon be either a TV movie or a cinema feature. Of course you know i’m talking about the water-landing of the US Airways flight that left LaGuardia on Thursday bound for Charlotte, N.C., hit a flock of geese and ditched into the Hudson River. All 155 on board were saved, thanks, everyone has concluded, to the cool-as a cucumber flying of ace pilot, Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger III. Sully, a former Air Force fighter jet pilot, is a safety expert with his own consulting firm. He’s also an accident investigator who helps the National Transportation Safety Board. He’s advised NASA.
Oh, and he’s a certified glider instructor. So, Sully knew how to turn his Airbus 320 into a glider for the ride down the river.
Read Sully’s bio at his firm’s website:
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said that if this were a movie, nobody would believe it. I believe it will be a movie, and people will have to believe it because it actually happened.
My question to you is, who should play “Sully?” I vote for Tom Hanks.

Myself I’d like to see either Harrison Ford or Brad Johnson play Sully
