Thailand cave rescue to be turned into Hollywood movie

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The mission to rescue 12 boys and their soccer coach from a Thai cave is to get the Hollywood treatment in a movie announced by faith-based production house Pure Flix.
It'll be moved to someplace near Los Angeles. Fifteen percent of the boys will be cute black children. Not quite half will be assertive girls. There may be one or two Asian kids. They'll all have gotten stuck in the caves because of something stupid and selfish done by one of the white kids -- he'll remind you of Draco Malfoy from the Harry Potter series. They'll probably also feature some dinosaurs run amuck from a Secret Government Laboratory®, and some natural disasters.
Managing partner Michael Scott, who lives in Thailand and was at the rescue site in Chiang Rai as the boys were being pulled to safety, made the announcement late Tuesday on Twitter.
I think we've all seen 2012 by now.
"I couldn’t be more excited. This story has meant so much to me as I have followed it in Thailand this summer," he said in a video filmed at the scene of the flooded cave in the country’s north.
Yeah, buddy. My pants are all wet too.
"My wife actually grew up with the Thai Navy SEAL that died in the cave. To see all that heroic bravery in the cave, and to get all the divers out, it’s just such a touching event and so personal to me."
Great Hollywood, by Gum. Lotsa opportunity for Kung Fu fighting.
Stunning video footage emerged Wednesday of several of the "Wild Boars" team -- aged 11 to 16 -- being freed from the Tham Luang cave on stretchers, ending a successful three-day rescue.
... and a love interest that'll knock yer sox off!
They are in good physical and mental health, say doctors, despite a harrowing 18 days inside the dank, dark cave before a risky rescue operation that was dubbed "Mission: Impossible".

#1 Yes, how are they going to wedge a "Holly-weird A-List Star" in there and not make it "cultural appropriation" time by putting Western Actors in "brownface" like those old English cinema productions?

#2 a risky rescue operation that was dubbed "Mission: Impossible".

Maybe Tom Cruise can play the dead diver.

#3 A Michael Bay production: "We'll have giant explosions and blow the top of the mountain off. Then Bruce Willis drills down to their cavern..."

#4 They'll move it to the "caves of LA" and ask the chinese for help.

#5 I'll bet on Thailand, with ecotourist involvement, and elephants. Elephant liberation. Elephant wisdom. Outraged elephants screeching and shitting on a picture of Trump.

Re Michael Bay route... LCS cameo, please?
