According to sources, the film also stars Moogalianթ§Չ-Չ§s wife, Isabelle Risacher Moogalian, who was also on board that day.
During the high-speed train ride on Aug. 21, 2015, Moogalian tackled gunman El-Khazzani, who was armed with an AK-47 assault rifle. It was reported that Moogalian instinctively acted to protect his wife Isabella and managed to take the assault rifle away from El-Khazzani. The assailant managed to then draw another gun and shoot Moogalian in the neck.
Moogalian, who is from Midlothian, Va. and teaches English at Paris-Sorbonne University, was quickly rushed to a hospital where he was rehabilitated and eventually made a full recovery from his injuries.
In Sept. 2015, less than a month after the incident, Moogalian was awarded the Legion dթ§Չ-Չ§Honneur, Franceթ§Չ-Չ§s highest honor for bravery, by then French President Francois Hollande at the թՉ՛lysթԹ.e Palace.
Written by Dorothy Blyskal, թ§Չ-ժThe 15:17 to Parisթ§Չ-Թ is based on the autobiography The 15:17 to Paris: The True Story of a Terrorist, a Train, and Three American Soldiers by Jeffrey E. Stern, Spencer Stone, Anthony Sadler, and Alek Skarlatos. Stone, Sadler, and Skarlatosթ§Չ-Չthe American passengers who helped stop the attack by tackling the attackerթ§Չ-Չalso star in the film as themselves.
The film is scheduled to be released on Feb. 9 by Warner Bros. Pictures.
