The last boy and the team coach has been to safety after a 3-day rescue operation. Some of us might want to know how the entire operation took place.
Well, that will be possible soon as the big screens will soon show the Thai Rescue Operation.
The daring rescue of 12 schoolboys and their football coach in the waterlogged caves of Thailand will be soon seen on the big screen.
The story will be getting a film treatment with Pure Flix Entertainment, which produced God’s Not Dead, is planning a feature film on the subject.
The studio will team up with Kaos Entertainment on the project, which will be made on the budget of around $60 million.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the CEO and co-founder of Pure Flix, Michael Scott, spent several days on the scene – which serves as his home for a part of the year.
“The bravery and heroism I’ve witnessed is incredibly inspiring, so, yes, this will be a movie for us,” Scott said.
The studio claimed that Scott has offered assistance in rescue efforts at Chiang Rai for the past four days.
“Pure Flix joins the rest of the world in thanking God for answering prayers for the successful rescue of those trapped in the cave in Thailand,” the studio said in a Facebook post.
“Managing partner Michael Scott, from his home in Thailand, has been helping at the cave rescue in Chiang Rai the past 4 days (sic),” it read.
Scott said the film will be released under diffusion banner Pinnacle Peak, which launched Little Women in September.

“It’s not necessary to make this a Christian film, just an inspirational one,” he said.
No directors, writers or actors have been attached to the project as of yet.
The 12 boys and their coach got trapped in the Tham Luan Nang Non cave on June 23, when they were exploring it after a soccer practice and it became flooded by monsoon rains.
They were found 10 days later by a pair of British divers, huddled together in the pitch dark cave.
Their rescue operation lasted three days and was a joint effort with many countries and eminent extending help.
MOCKING THE IDEA
While some are eager to watch the Thai Rescue Operation on the big screen, some have mocked the concept.
How soon is too soon to start boycotting the Hollywood movie of the Thai cave rescue starring Mark Wahlberg?

Cave rescue is going to make an incredible movie, can’t wait to see Scarlett Johansson inspire in her role as 12 Thai boys.

The Thai cave rescue reminds me of a post modern version of Billy Wilder’s Ace in the Hole. You’ve got Elon Musk grabbing attention with shameless self-promoting, trying to shill a new product AND a movie of the saga being announced before the kids are out of the hospital.
