Ice Road Truckers Make Trip to Big Screen
Twentieth Century Fox is taking the premise of History Channel's hit reality series Ice Road Truckers and adapting it as the basis for a scripted tentpole feature film, says Variety. Truckers, which started as a special and later became the cabler's highest-rated series, follows drivers who navigate 18-wheelers over a 350-mile highway made of, well, ice, delivering supplies to diamond miners working the tundra of Canada's Northwest Territories.
