Tamara Tunie ("Law & Order: SVU") has been tapped to co-star opposite Denzel Washington in Paramount's "
Flight."
Robert Zemeckis is helming with production starting later this month in Atlanta. Written by John Gatins, "
Flight" centers on an airline pilot with substance abuse issues who steers an endangered flight to a crash-landing, saving nearly all of the passengers. Tunie plays the lead flight attendant who is interviewed during a routine investigation that leads to the unraveling of his life.
