Badwater Horror Movie Coming to a Theater Near You

Heather Mayer Irvine for Runner’s World:

Actor Shailene Woodley will break out her running shoes for the thriller, Ultra, directed by Victoria Negri and inspired by true events from Negri’s life.
…
Woodley’s character, Eve, will take on the Badwater 135, the notorious 135-mile ultramarathon through California’s Death Valley in July. Eve is grieving the death of her twin sister. According to reports, the plot follows Eve who, like any ultramarathoner understands, is battling the elements and her own inner demons. And, of course, trying to stay ahead of other runners. 

But a runner, donning white—which is typically what Badwater runners wear to combat Death Valley’s heat—pursues Eve, slowly and consistently gaining on her.

Sounds on par for what one would expect of a story Hollywood would make if they’re take on the topic of ultra running. I cannot wait to watch this one and take apart all the weird little details. So many podcast episodes will be made around it.
