The rescue
A Thai boys soccer team and its trainer of a flooded cave complex have trapped viewers around the world, in a story that could quickly reach Hollywood.

A large group of rescuers released yesterday to the last four of the 12 boys and their young coach, who remained trapped for more than two weeks, in a successful close to a complex operation carefully followed around the world. The saga recalls in a certain way
the rescue of 33 miners in Chile, who were trapped for 69 days in 2010, a feat that became the film Los 33, starring the Spanish Antonio Banderas.

The producers of Pure Flix, a studio specializing in Christian and family films, are already on the ground to conduct preliminary interviews for a possible film, according to Australian AAP.

"I see it as a big Hollywood movie, with big stars Said Michael Scott of Pure Flix at AAP. The production company did not respond immediately to requests for comment.

But bringing Thai drama to the screen will not be easy. First, producers must ensure the rights of each of the boys' families, between the ages of 11 and 16, the trainer, and the rescuers who want to portray to get first hand accounts of what happened. And replicating the rescue on the screen could be expensive.

The film Los 33 was shot in Colombia and Chile and produced for about 24 million dollars. A possible film on rescue in Thailand could be done for less, says Medavoy, because filming in the Asian country would be cheaper.
