From the Hollywood Reporter [hollywoodreporter.com]: Apple is turning the classic computer game Oregon Trail [wikipedia.org] into a big budget action-comedy movie.

Grab your wagons and oxen, and get ready to ford a river: A movie adaptation of the popular grade school computer game Oregon Trail [hollywoodreporter.com] is in development at Apple.

The studio landed the film pitch, still in early development, that has Will Speck and Josh Gordon attached to direct and produce. EGOT winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul will provide original music and produce via their Ampersand production banner. Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that the movie will feature a couple of original musical numbers in the vein of Barbie.

Sounds like a good day to die of dysentery.
