Ed Harris and Woody Harrelson to lead a firefighting ensemble movie
3000 Degrees for director Danny Boyle (
Trainspotting), according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Billy Crudup also is in negotiations to join the project.
The drama is an adaptation of Sean Flynn's book "3000 Degrees: The True Story of a Deadly Fire and the Men Who Fought It." The book grew out of Flynn's July 2000 Esquire article detailing a tragic fire that turned a century-old storage building in Worcester, Mass., into a cinderbox that claimed the lives of six firefighters in December 1999.
Scott Silver wrote the screenplay.
