K.J. Yossman “Beckham” director Fisher Stevens is set to helm climate drama “The Montreal Protocol,” about a true story of underdog scientists who set out to repair the hole in the ozone layer and avoided a global environmental catastrophe.
Jess Kimball Leslie (“Kings of America”) is adapting the story, which is in development at Stevens’ production company Highly Flammable along with Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way (“The Right Stuff,” “The Revenant”) as well as New State Pictures and Curiosity Rights.
RandomGood Films (“Beyond Utopia”) is financing the development. RandomGood, Highly Flammable, and Appian collaborated most recently on “We Are Guardians.” The movement to repair the hole in the ozone layer – which began in the early 1970s and continued for over 20 years – is considered one of the most successful environmental initiatives ever.
