Matthew McConaughey shares trailer for 'The Lost Bus,' filmed in Ruidoso
Actor Matthew McConaughey shared the official trailer for "The Lost Bus," a film shot in Ruidoso in April 2024, months before wildfires would ravage the village.
The native Texan shared the action-packed trailer on his official social media accounts on Sunday, June 8, and revealed the flick would be released 'soon' on Apple TV. The movie explores what went wrong in California's Camp Fire, the nation's deadliest wildfire in a century, and includes stories of a bus driver and teacher who helped through a wildfire, played by McConaughey, according to IMDB.
An official release date has not been announced by the streaming service.
"The Lost Bus" is directed by Paul Greengrass and also stars America Ferrera. The movie also credits Jamie Lee Curtis as one of the film's producers.
Both McConaughey and Greengrass were spotted in Ruidoso for several days, with McConaughey captured speaking into a radio while driving a large yellow bus. The movie showcases several local spots, like Ruidoso's neighborhood pharmacy and gas station, according to Ruidoso officials.
Shortly after McConaughey wrapped up filming in Ruidoso, the South Fork and Salt Fire ignited in June 2024, burning through thousands of acres and destroying more than a thousand structures. Two deaths were reported in the wildfires, including a talented, well-known country musician, Patrick Pearson.
McConaughey joined the effort to help Ruidoso residents by sharing a donation link to his millions of followers on social media in July 2024.
Watch the official trailer for "The Lost Bus" below:
The film is based on true events that happened in Butte County in November 2018, reported Deadline. The Camp Fire resulted in 86 fatalities and burned over 150,000 acres.
While the official trailer was released for the film on June 8, streaming service Apple TV teased that it would be coming soon. No official date was announced with the trailer's release.

Sydney Sweeney reveals 'transformation' for 'special' new role
Sydney Sweeney has revealed she had to gain more than two stone to play boxer Christy Martin. The Euphoria actor is playing the former female super welterweight champion in a new biopic. She had to train for hours every day and worked with a nutritionist who helped her pack on the extra pounds for the part. "It was quite a transformation," she said during an appearance on The One Show. Sweeney was on the BBC show on Monday, 9 June along with actor Julianne Moore, as the pair discussed their new film Echo Valley. She was also quizzed about playing Martin in the as yet untitled biopic, and said it would "forever be one of the most special projects that I have ever done". "I trained for like, two-and-a-half, three months before I started filming," she continued. "I had boxing training and weight training multiple times a day for hours a day. I had a nutritionist that would help me put on the weight. So I put on 30 to 35 pounds. "It was incredible." The star said during filming she "did every single boxing sequence". "It was me, I was punching people, I was getting punched in the face," she said. "It was really amazing." Presenter Roman Kemp joked: "I'd be like, 'Go lighter this scene'." But Sweeney insisted: "No, you want to keep getting into it! You get so into it." Sweeney and Moore also talked about Echo Valley, which looks at how far a mum will go to protect her daughter after she turns up at her door covered in someone else's blood. Moore had to film some of the scenes underwater in a tank and presenter Alex Jones noted that it looked "terrifying". "Yeah," agreed Moore. She went on: "We shot the movie in New Jersey on an actual lake so when you see us on the surface of the lake or in a boat on the lake we are in New Jersey but when you see me underwater we are in London, we are in Pinewood." "It was the first time I had done any tank work," said the actor. "It was really exciting, I got to work with a diver. "You don't have a lot of prep. I think I had an afternoon of working with the regulator and going underwater and then you take your regulator and you take it out and then you act for as long as you can and then you come up for air. "But it was exciting. I mean, I was nervous. I am not sporty, unlike Sydney who is a very, very sporty person. I am kind of an indoor person." "I was very jealous of the tank work!" laughed Sweeney. The One Show airs at 7pm on BBC One on weekdays. Echo Valley is out on Apple TV+ and select cinemas from Friday, 13 June.

Gary Oldman on ‘Slow Horses' being ‘an extraordinary show to work on' and ‘one of the highlights of my career'
Gary Oldman is clearly having a ball playing the gruff, ill-mannered and often underestimated Jackson Lamb in the Emmy-winning Apple TV+ spy thriller Slow Horses. "We often laugh actually, while we're doing it. We crack up and then and do retakes," he tells Gold Derby. "It's been an extraordinary show to work on, not only because the material is very good and obviously the character is just a dream. But it's been really made all the more special because of the people working on the show. And that is really across the board from makeup, costume, DP, camera operator, clapper loader, although they're not really clapper loaders anymore," he says. "I love regrouping after a break and then getting back and seeing everyone. The set is very easy to work on in that respect. Just an incredible bunch of people and that really has made it, I think, one of the highlights of my career." (Watch our full interview above.) More from GoldDerby Michelle Williams and Jenny Slate on playing best friends in 'Dying for Sex': 'It was love at first sight' Seth Rogen on taking big swings with 'The Studio': 'Are people just going to think this looks insane?' 'Disclaimer' star Leila George on how she landed 'the best job of her life' Slow Horses is based on Mick Herron's series of novels, adapted by showrunner Will Smith (Veep), about a group of MI5 agents who are consigned to a dumping ground for rejects paying the price for their past mistakes. The outcasts of the British intelligence agency banished to the administrative purgatory of Slough House are known as 'slow horses.' They're expected to endure interminably dull, paper-pushing drudgery, along with occasional berating from their abrasive boss, Jackson Lamb. Oldman plays the rude, crass, and often drunk department head with a bracing panache, reveling in being as unapologetically miserable as possible, while showing flashes of the intellect, perceptiveness and savvy from his former life as a respected spy. The spy drama costars Emmy nominee Jack Lowden, Oscar and Emmy nominee Kristin Scott Thomas, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Kadiff Kirwan, Freddie Fox, Chris Reilly, Joanna Scanlon, and Tony winner and Oscar and Emmy nominee Jonathan Pryce, with new additions to the show's riveting fourth season, including Tom Brooke as the newest slow horse and former "psych eval" operative, Ruth Bradley as the new head of "the Dogs," James Callis as the new "first desk," and Hugo Weaving as deadly mercenary Frank Harkness. SEE Gary Oldman, Jack Lowden, Kristin Scott Thomas, Jonathan Pryce: Here is every 'Slow Horses' Emmy acting submission for Season 4 After four seasons, with a fifth on the way (premiering Sept. 24), it's no wonder that Oldman loves this role, not only because it's a fun set to work on, but because the writing is so excellent. "If the source material is good, then it dictates what you do. It's a psychological and an emotional map that you follow. When you come up against bad writing, that's when you feel that you're working too hard for it. If you're breaking a sweat, then you know that you're not in the hands of a very good writer. It's a joy to speak this stuff and to navigate, both physically and psychologically, through the world of these people in this character," says Oldman. "As the seasons go on and incrementally more is revealed of Jackson, you as an actor are forming a more complete picture of him. And then of course we have Season 5, and that pulls back another layer of the onion to his character and really why he is the way he is," he says about fleshing out the why behind his grouchy, ill-tempered exterior. "It works in a way as a defense mechanism. He's not gonna let you in. You're not going to really get to know him. And that really is part of his skill also, because by doing that, he has an edge over you. I mean, we've said it before; people around him are playing checkers and Jackson Lamb is playing chess." The writers are have also proven to be very adept at cramming an abundance of plot and narrative into short and sharp six-episode seasons, leaving audiences breathlessly anticipating the next installment. The plot thickens as the show unwraps a self-contained mystery each season, while leaving room for getting to know the characters, who often amusingly bare the brunt of Lamb's witty asides and cutting insults. "As far as making the next one as good, if not better, you can't drop the ball," Oldman says about always wanting to up the ante. "There's a lot of people involved that come together. We have a standard. The audience are expecting something from us and we cannot disappoint. That's part of the reason why we do six episodes with a short break, and then we do another six, because who wants to invest their time in characters in a show and then wait two or three years for it to come back? We are very conscious of making the next one as good, if not better. So that's the first thing; audiences come back to the show and they're not disappointed." SEE Jack Lowden reveals his favorite bit of improv on 'Slow Horses': 'He doesn't know why he's doing it' "We're so used to glamor and the world of James Bond and tuxedos, martinis and casinos that I think the appeal of it is it's these very dysfunctional and often ordinary people who have to deal with all the stuff in their life who go to the launderette, who may have to make their car payments, have problems in their relationships and are dealing with a mortgage," Oldman says. "They're dealing with all the problems that we all deal with. They're ordinary people who do this extraordinary thing for a living. That's a part of its appeal. It's a spy show, but they are the every man. And of course, some of the things that come out of Jackson Lamb's mouth, I think maybe secretly we watch the show and think, we may have in our time had a bullying horrible boss and you think sometimes, 'Oh, I wish I could have a comeback like that.' He doesn't give a flying monkeys, you see? He's seen it all and can't track with the bureaucratic side of it all, of the Park and all of that crap. He's, he's been there, seen it, and he has no, uh, time for it. I think the kindest thing that Jackson can do is make life so miserable for the people that work for him, so that they get out of the game, because they don't wanna end up [like him]. I think that's probably the kindest thing that he can do. And yet, for all of his rough edges and bullying, he's incredibly loyal and would take a bullet for them." Asked his thoughts on why he seems to be widely revered and admired among other actors, the Oscar- and BAFTA-winning veteran actor replies, "I think it's very flattering. It doesn't occupy my thought process a lot, but it's always nice to hear that someone says something nice about your work. I'm a big one for, if I run into someone and I like their work or I like a performance, I'll say so. I even will drop a note to people and write them how much I liked their performance or their work. Less than a week ago I dropped a note to Tom Hardy and I said, 'I really like your work in MobLand.' I've written to different people over the years. I think it's a nice thing. I think it's a nice thing when a colleague likes your work. It's a lovely thing." Slow Horses Season 4 is now streaming on Apple TV+.
