Legendary Entertainment and Scholastic Entertainment are teaming to develop a live-action feature adaptation of children’s book series The Magic School Bus.

Rob Letterman (Detective Pikachu) is set to write and direct. Elizabeth Banks is set to play Ms. Frizzle.

Iole Lucchese and Caitlin Friedman will produce the new take for Scholastic, alongside Banks, Max Handelman, and Alison Small for Brownstone Productions, Platt and Adam Siegel for Marc Platt Productions, and Mary Parent, Ali Mendes, and Cale Boyter for Legendary.

The franchise follows quirky science teacher Ms. Valerie Frizzle and her young class of students as they board a sentient, shape-shifting school bus that transports them on educational adventures through outer space, the interior of the human body, and myriad other extraordinary settings.
