“THIS will make a great movie some day.”
It’s a sentiment that’s echoed around the globe as millions of people watch on and champion the ongoing rescue of 12 young boys and their soccer coach stuck in a Thailand cave, in the country’s north.
But for some Hollywood producers, there’s no time to waste, and “some day” may as well be now.
A US film crew has already arrived at the foothills of the Tham Luang mountain cave system in Chiang Rai province as one of the world’s most daring rescue operations enters its third day. Divers are expected to today attempt to bring 25-year-old coach Ekkapol “Aek” Chantawong and the remaining four boys — aged 11 to 16 — to safety in a dangerous and highly complex operation.
One Navy SEAL has already died trying to save the team which became trapped in a dark, flooded chamber on June 23 and has been imprisoned for more than two weeks. Eight of the boys have been rescued over the past two days and are recovering in a nearby hospital.
Meanwhile, two American producers are already plotting a movie project about the Wild Boars youth soccer team and their coach in anticipation of global box office success.
Pure Flix films managing partner Michael Scott told AAP in Chiang Rai, “I see this as a major Hollywood film with A-list stars”.

She will be playing the late heroic Thai Navy SEAL.
Well, hollywood is out of original ideas ... so it’s this or another “reboot” of some past movie.
LOL!!!!
I’ll pass ,saw it on BBC
We know the story and we all just watched it unfold. Why would anyone want to see a corrupted, politically-correct Hollywood version that is “based on” a true story?
Just do a movie of the week or what ever they called it
No way her schmeebs clear the 15 inch narrows.
Is, “Ka-Ching” a Thai word?
A day ago, I predicted just what is happening, and just how (ugh) fictionally politically correct it will be.

Good post. Yeah it will be very PC and cover every single leftist talking point. Lots of LGBTQ characters.
Big events get made into movies. Always have, always will. From before the Raid on Entebbe through 15:17 to Paris. That’s what they do. Cause people want to watch them.
Tonight at 8 central, ABC is having an hour show on it.
They’ll throw some black characters in as well.

That actually made me LOL——and you are probably right—and it will be someone VERY important.

ABC and Hollywood should check out this woman...
She,and others who were background helpers,should definitely be included.
.
Unbelievable.
They’ll probably get Dwayne Johnson to play the lead rescuer, he could kind of pass for a Thai, I suppose.
Hollywood’s biggest problem is how will the scriptwriters blame American in general but Trump specifically.
Problems, problems..
