Warners goes to Galveston

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. are planning a movie about the deadliest natural disaster to ever hit the United States: the 1900 Galveston hurricane.


The studio has bought a screenplay titled “Galveston”, written by Daniel Sussman. THR says the script

traces the stories of a pair of young lovers on the verge of being separated, a struggle for power among various bureaucracies and a bitter love triangle involving two brothers.

As Moviefone points out, this will likely be more serious in tone than your average disaster blockbuster.
