Low-budget action movie producer Randall Emmett recently unveiled a high-profile collaboration with Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese to bring the story of a deadly 1982 avalanche near Lake Tahoe to the big screen.

Emmett has been working on the project for about a year, and introduced the Netflix documentary to Scorsese, according to a March article in the Tahoe Guide, which touted how the local tragedy was being adapted into a feature film by Convergence and Scorsese.

Ellery “Ellie” Curtis, 26, of San Francisco suffered a head injury and was pronounced dead at the Palisades Tahoe resort in Olympic Valley, according to the Placer County Sheriff’s Department.

Sheriff’s officials did not provide any other details and directed inquiries to Palisades Tahoe.

Lake Tahoe native Kyle Robertson, 27, calls himself a fan of visitation limitations.
