It’s time to gas up the bus. The beloved picture book series The Magic School Bus is rolling up to the big screen, courtesy of Legendary Pictures. The studio has already recruited a notable name to drive the bus.
According to reports, Elizabeth Banks will produce The Magic School Bus and star as Ms. Frizzle, the elementary school teacher who leads her class on a series of improbable field trips on the titular conveyance. She was first signed on to the project back in 2020, when Universal had the rights to the property and planned to make a live-action-animation hybrid film; Legendary has now acquired the project, with Banks in tow. It’s the latest project for the ever-busy Banks, who played the shrunken title character of The Miniature Wife on Peacock earlier this year, and is set to star alongside Ted Danson in a new Apple TV comedy series. She’s also starring in and producing the science fiction thriller DreamQuil, and playing herself in the David Wain comedy Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass.
