They did ?

 

From what I understand they are dealing with Ivanahoe Pictures, a company that specialize into Asian themed production.

Your right, I misread the story.

But, frankly, Ivanhoe's film work does not give one much hope this will not be a cash grab.

Congratulations to Scarlett Johannson on landing another starring role

LOL!!!! She could play ALL of the boys. She is that talented...and since she is such a big draw, you know...

Now seriously...how much you wanna bet that they create a fictional white character just for the film (a character that is either an investigator or a DA or a reporter...something really substantial, just to cast a big American star and have them be "the eyes" of the audience. Ugh.)...

There are a couple of competing projects percolating about the 2018 Tham Luang cave rescue of the teens on the Thailand Wild Boar boys soccer team after they were led by their coach into the cave. They became trapped 1,000 meters below the surface by monsoon rains and came out in 2018 in a rescue effort that took the life of a retired Thai Navy SEAL whose oxygen ran out.

 

There’s a movie at Universal and Cavalry Media that has Free Solo filmmakers Jimmy Chin and Chai Vasarhelyi attached, and Netflix partnered with Crazy Rich Asians producer SK Global on a mini-series with Jon Chu that focuses on the kids. There’s also a NatGeo docu with Kevin MacDonald.
