Martin Scorsese has signed on to produce a new film that will depict one of the deadliest avalanches in US history. The Oscar-winning filmmaker will co-produce the drama along with action flick producer Randall Emmett and Jared Drake and Steven Sig, who were behind the 2021 Netflix documentary Buried, which examines the fateful events of the Alpine Meadows avalanche.
On March 31, 1982, a 3,200-foot avalanche ripped through Alpine Meadows in Tahoe after a massive snowstorm that had caused the ski resort to close. It buried eight people and killed seven, flipping snow cats and destroying buildings in its wake.
