Paul Feig Producing Drug-Fueled Survival Story SUPERMODEL SNOWPOCALYPSE
Paul Feig, who produced Freaks and Geeks and currently has his take on Ghostbusters in theaters, has lined up a crazy new project. It's a movie called Supermodel Snowpocalypse, and it's based on an Elle article that tells the wild true story of a group of models, photographers, and executives who traveled to Chile in 1977 for a photoshoot. A snowstorm locked them all in the resort for a week with no phone access, so they basically threw a cocaine-fueled party, complete with a makeshift fashion show, gambling, and, of course, sex. Eventually they started to concoct an escape plan...but you either wait for the movie or read more in the article if you're interested in how it ended.
THR reports that Feig will not direct, but he'll produce the movie for Paramount. The story seems tailor made for the big screen, and we'll keep you updated with news about casting, writers, and a director as soon as we hear it.
