flight movie trailer 2012

Production

Robert Zemeckis entered negotiations to direct in April 2011, and by early June had accepted, with Denzel Washington about to finalize his own deal.

By mid-September 2011, Kelly Reilly was in negotiations to play the female lead, with Don Cheadle, Bruce Greenwood,and John Goodman joining later in the month, and Melissa Leo and James Badge Dale in final negotiations. Screenwriter John Gatins said in early October 2011 that production would begin mid-month. Flight was largely filmed on location near Atlanta, Georgia over 45 days in November 2011.The Flight film's relatively small budget of only $31 million (which Zemeckis later realized was the smallest budget for a film of his in inflation-adjusted dollars since 1980) was possible only because of generous tax rebates from the state of Georgia in exchange for filming there, and because Zemeckis and Washington agreed to waive their customary fees.

Gatins explained in a 2012 interview with the Los Angeles Times that the dramatic fictional crash depicted in Flight was "loosely inspired" by the 2000 crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261, in which the pilots briefly attempted to recover from catastrophic loss of control by flying the aircraft upside down. That crash, however, had no survivors.
