As rescuers in Thailand successfully conclude their efforts to save a group of teens trapped in a flooded cavern, movie producers in the United States are already planning to make a film about this ordeal.
A US film crew has arrived in the vicinity of the Tham Luang mountain cave system where a group of teen footballers and their coach were recently trapped, as Hollywood producers regard this incident as an opportunity to make a movie.
« I see this as a major Hollywood film with A-list stars, » Pure Flix films managing partner Michael Scott told AAP.
« There’s going to be other production companies coming in so we have to act pretty quickly, » Smith remarked when asked if his crew’s actions might appear somewhat insensitive.
