Matthew McConaughey has found his next film project and is in talks to star in a new Blumhouse film titled The lost bus, with Paul Greengrass in talks to direct. It looks like the project will end up being produced by Apple Original Films.
The film is based on the book Paradise: One Town’s Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire by Lizzie Johnson, which is about the 2018 wildfire that became the deadliest wildfire in California history. Brad Ingelsby adapted the screenplay.
The film’s story “will be told through the perspective of heroic bus driver Kevin McKay and school teacher Mary Ludwig, who helped guide a bus full of children through the deadly fire while the town of Paradise is trapped in the destruction and chaos. The fire destroyed much of the mountain town and killed 85 people.”
The new project will be produced by Jamie Lee Curtis’ Comet images, Jason Blumit’s Blumhouse, Ingelsby AND Greg Goodman. Curtis is the one who started the project after hearing the book’s author on NPR. After reading it, he took the project to Blumhouse, where he has a first-look deal.
