You're on a video game forum where people reenact world wars for fun. I don't think that movie is 'about that night' either.

Hollywood producers already in Thailand to acquire rights to Cave rescue story
- Thread starter Thisman
- Start date
This was expected. Also, i kind find the white people sux comments funny. This whole saga was prime example of international rescue mission done right. People from various nations came together to save kids trapped in a cave. At great personal risk, i might add.
I admit that the studio we are talking about would probably make ghastly movie about white saviour, but at right hands this could be inspiring film.

I am very curious as to who they are buying the 'rights' from? Can something that happens in real life be copyrighted? Presumably they are seeking the rights of the mine, and surrounding areas from the Thai government, then also the names of the children and prominent rescue staff from them?
US Navy seals to totally be the heroes using experimental rescue machine from compassionate US billionaire
In Thai FB, there is a somewhat viral post telling people for the love of God, don't let a well known Thai director make a movie out of this, haha.

Marky Mark? Nah, Pure Flix only goes for the best. Bring in Kevin Sorbo!
Yes
As sucky as my answer is, that's how it is. Hollywood is bereft of original ideas.
I'm curious what rights they're looking to obtain. No one owns the rights to the events themselves, so I guess participation of the people involved?
Hollywood has always been like that? what?
Seriously?
Seriously in that Hollywood has always been chasing after people from serious events to turn their experiences into a movie? There is literally tons of movies about Real life deadly events, The person I quoted thinks this is something that has only recently begun.
Prequel to Batman Begins where Bruce uses his spelunking experience to save the kids.
Where's my money?

If hollywood producers and investors gave up their share for charities im fine with it.
If its not at least $1m a kid, theyll have been ripped off.
The CGI they used in the final act where Elon Musk gained his angel wings after saving the boys was super awkward.
Man I never see these fucking movies because it's so obviously exploitative without knowing they are there days after something like this.
I heard of all these movies but Old Fashioned, so I went and found the synopsis. It sounds like a parody synopsis, except it isn't:
I don't doubt they would make a movie about the boys that turns all the jokes in this thread into the actual movie :v
Marky Mark or Matt Damon will be Elon Musk, with Tom Hanks as father figure and mentor telling him to not give up and that he always believed in him
Movie is gonna be about how god banished these non Jesus loving heathens to hell but the libs broke them out with machines they used to bury fake dinosaur bones. What a twist!
You legitimately believe that Hollywood was a healthy industry pre-#metoo and pre-Trump, when it was entirely white male dominated and while it still is, it's finally moving into adding inclusivity, diversity and equality...yet you think that somehow they had integrity because they were more respectful of recent events?

Hollywood has always cashed in on celebrity deaths, tragedies, serial killers and recent events to tell stories that range from respectable to too soon. As long as they deal with the subject matter respectfully, starting on a movie now that will likely be released in 3-4 years is fine.
Feels almost like it would be politically incorrect not to be disgusted at Hollywood no?
There's nothing novel or surprising about them chasing a story during the aftermath when the ending is a happy one.
And yes they will "whitewash" the story because they are adapting it for American audiences. Remember that movie about the tsunami in Thailand with Naomi Watts? The one that focused on American tourists and Thai locals were in the background? Now THAT was some shameless shit.
