“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”.

Tom Hanks will play the heroic Thai who coordinated the rescue. Only pick in my opinion.
Let’s see The coach will be in a the movie a pedophile, one of the boys will be a TRANSGENDER, another will be a black American Muslim, another will be his boyfriend and another will be an AntiTrump White American. The Navy Seal who died will be a women and Trump will be in the movie as uncaring. But, who cares, Satanicwood doesn’t get my money...
Starring Will Smith, Linda Hunt and Kevin Spacey (as Elon Musk).
Remember when they filmed a TV movie about the last siege at Waco? They only had to wait till the siege ended, then the movie would be done. They were shocked about how it ended.
Surely one of the kids will be half American-half Thai, maybe “comes out” in the cave as a wannabe girl.
Modern PC dictates it to be so.
Naaaaa, doesn’t work. A movie with no racial diversity. Sorry.
Seems a bit “dark”
As ConservaTeen said, SatanicWood will have the coach as a pedophile and in the cave for 8 days...(well it’s SatanicWood so you see where it is going...)
Dead link, it says “Campaign Not Found”
I don’t know why but I’m glad I wasn’t drinking milk when I read this. :-D
Apparently there were complications... thanks for checking...
She was slated to a play “transgendered man” aka a woman pretending to be a man. But trannies complain now when tranny characters are played by normal, well known, skilled actors who can carry a movie/show, they want the roles to go to real trannies.
