Apple Ignites Teaser for Paul Greengrass’ The Lost Bus
Today, Apple Original Films unveiled the teaser trailer for The Lost Bus, an emotional, action-packed rescue drama directed by Academy Award-nominee Paul Greengrass and inspired by real events.
Coming fall 2025 to select theaters and on Apple TV+, The Lost Bus is a white-knuckle ride through one of America’s deadliest wildfires, as a wayward school bus driver (Academy Award-winner Matthew McConaughey) and a dedicated school teacher (Emmy, SAG and Golden Globe Award-winner America Ferrera) battle to save 22 children from the terrifying inferno.
“‘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,” says director Paul Greengrass.
The Lost Bus is written by Greengrass and Brad Inglesby and is based on Paradise: One Town’s Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire, by Lizzie Johnson. The film is produced by Ingelsby, Gregory Goodman, Jason Blum for Blumhouse Productions, Jamie Lee Curtis for Comet Pictures, and executive produced by author Johnson.
After hearing Johnson on NPR, Curtis read the book and brought the project to Blumhouse (upcoming M3GAN 2.0 and Five Nights at Freddy’s 2), where she has a first look deal. In addition to Matthew McConaughey and America Ferrera, the cast includes Yul Vazquez, Ashlie Atkinson, and Spencer Watson.
