    live action Magic School Bus film

    uh-oh, bad news for the film Adam McKay is making my friend write for him lmao.

    spoiler for an unwritten movie and details i probably shouldn't reveal

    from what he’s described to me, the concept was that billionaires have started to utilise basically magic school bus / honey I shrunk the kids-esque technology as a health treatment and physically send in workers as health professionals to treat and clean up health issues (like physically remove plaque from the aorta or fix a liver or some shit), but the big reveal being that they entirely exploit and dispose of the working class by sending them in and then tell them that there’s literally no exit plan and they are expected to die inside the billionaire’s body. The plot is then about the crew staging a mutiny/revolution and working out how reverse the shrinking, kill the billionaire from the inside of their body and somehow survive.

    I bring this up because when i first heard about this, I gave the project the working title “The Magic School Bussy”
