First look “The Lost Bus” starring Matthew McConaughey and America Ferrera
Apple Original Films released a teaser trailer for "The Lost Bus," an emotional, action-packed rescue thriller directed by Academy Award nominee Paul Greengrass and inspired by true events. Coming to select theaters and Apple TV+ in fall 2025, "The Lost Bus" is a nail-biting ride through one of America's deadliest wildfires, as a rogue school bus driver (Academy Award-winner Matthew McConaughey) and a dedicated school teacher (Emmy, SAG, and Golden Globe Award-winner America Ferrera) fight to save 22 children from the terrifying inferno. "The Lost Bus is a narrative of modest heroism—of individuals banding together in the face of the unfathomable. "I'm honored to be entrusted with this story," says filmmaker Paul Greengrass.
Greengrass and Brad Inglesby wrote "The Lost Bus," which is based on Lizzie Johnson's book, "Paradise: One Town's Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire." Ingelsby, Gregory Goodman, and Jason Blum produce the film for Blumhouse Productions, Jamie Lee Curtis for Comet Pictures, and novelist Johnson serves as executive producer. After hearing Johnson on NPR, Curtis read the book and brought the project to Blumhouse, where she has a first look.
In addition to McConaughey and Ferrera, the film stars Yul Vazquez, Ashlie Atkinson, and Spencer Watson.
