The Oregon Trail movie will be directed and produced by Will Speck and Josh Gordon and Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards winners, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, will provide original music and produce. The movie screenplay is being handled by The Lucas Bros. and Max Reisman. "The game is meant to mimic 19th-century pioneer times, following a covered wagon train heading west. Created in 1971, the game reached cult status among American grade schoolers by the 1990s as one of the first educational computer games allowed in schools — and for its hilariously dark storylines filled with broken arms, typhoid and dysentery."
