Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick, Twisters) has signed on to star in the upcoming yet-to-be-titled Amazon MGM Studios movie that will be directed by Ron Howard. The director will tell a new firefighter story over thirty years after his film Backdraft (1991) became a classic.

The story is based on a pitch from Christina Hodson, whose script follows disparate childhood friends, now elite firefighters, who must rekindle their fractured relationship when a series of deadly fires sweep across Texas. Hodson will also produce the film.

Powell received a Golden Globe nom in Best Actor Musical/Comedy for the Netflix comedy Hit Man. He will next star in the highly anticipated series Chad Powers, which he also co-created and co-wrote, and will soon star in Edgar Wright’s The Running Man for Paramount Pictures, which is slated to be released on Nov. 7.

The Top Gun: Maverick star also recently wrapped production on the revenge thriller Huntington, and is currently in production in JJ Abrams’ upcoming film for Warner Bros.
