Glen Powell is continuing down his smoking hot career path.
Amazon MGM Studios has landed the actor to star in an untitled firefighter movie for director Ron Howard. The project comes from an original pitch by Christina Hodson about disparate childhood friends who are now accomplished firefighters and face a deadly series of Texas fires while navigating their relationship.
Producers include Imagine Entertainment and Powell’s banner, Barnstorm.
Howard previously directed Universal’s 1991 fire-focused feature Backdraft, starring Kurt Russell, William Baldwin and Scott Glenn.
TheInSneider was first to report on the project.
More to come.
