Intense Teaser Trailer For Apple's Wildfire Drama THE LOST BUS Starring Matthew McConaughey
Apple has released a teaser trailer for their dramatic film The Lost Bus, based on the book “Paradise: One Town’s Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire” by Lizzie Johnson.
The film follows a wayward school bus driver, played by Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey, and a dedicated school teacher America Ferrera [who] battle to save 22 children from a terrifying inferno.
In the trailer, we see McConaughey’s character driving through California’s Butte County as he gets a call on his radio. “There is a situation developing at Ponderosa Elementary,” announces a voice on the radio. “There are 22 kids who are stranded…is there anybody who can pick these kids up?”
McConaughey then picks up his mic to answer the call, but just before he does, the trailer cuts away to images of billowing smoke, air support battling towering infernos and the bus careering through a fiery landscape.
The film also stars Yul Vazquez, Ashlie Atkinson, Danny McCarthy and Spencer Watson. Director Paul Greengrass said of the film’s narrative, “’The Lost Bus’ is the story of quiet heroism — of people coming together in the face of the unthinkable. I’m honored to have been entrusted with this story.”
Greengrass serves as director as well as co-writer with Brad Inglesby. Producers include Inglesby, Gregory Goodman, Jason Blum for Blumhouse Productions and Jamie Lee Curtis for Comet Pictures. Johnson serves as executive producer.
The Last Bus comes to Apple TV+ and select theaters this fall. Check out the trailer below.
