“We’re also extremely excited to be working with such top-tier partners as Elizabeth Banks, Marc Platt Productions, Brownstone Productions, Universal Pictures, and all of the amazing talent assembled for this noteworthy feature film.”
Deadline is reporting that Elizabeth Banks’ Brownstone Productions, Universal Pictures, and Marc Platt are developing a live-action hybrid feature of Scholastic’s The Magic School Bus, based on the books written by Joanna Cole and illustrated by Bruce Degen.
Ryan Christians from Marc Platt Productions will oversee production with Sara Scott and Lexi Barta from Universal Pictures.
The Magic School Bus books were first adapted into a PBS animated TV series, featuring Lily Tomlin in the starring role as Ms. Frizzle.
