“The Lost Bus” premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, telling the true story of a school bus driver who saved 22 children from the 2018 Paradise inferno.
McConaughey described the film as a huge-action, urgent, epic-scope production that portrays fire as a predator unlike anything seen on film before.
The film stars McConaughey as Kevin McKay, the flawed hero who volunteered to collect stranded schoolchildren while fearing for his own family’s safety.
Curtis decided to make the film after reading journalist Lizzie Johnson’s book about the Paradise fire tragedy.
While both Oscar-winning stars insist the film is not political, it contains a moment where a fire chief states that with increasingly deadly fires, “we’re being damn fools.”
Utility company PG&E, whose power lines sparked the blaze, paid more than $13 billion to victims and pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter.
Director Paul Greengrass, known for dramatizing real-life events in films like “Captain Phillips” and “United 93,“ convinced McConaughey to return to acting for this project.
