You can see they are under a lot of pressure from not just 1 but at least 5 production companies.. Appropriate that they should try to keep some control over how the rescue is portrayed... and set some stiff guidelines protecting the boys from exploitation.

Oziex1 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 They want to ensure accuracy, Hollywood movies are not known for accuracy. Why should they be we want drama not a documentary account. As much as I like doccos and will look forward to seeing one on this subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkkthebest Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Yes yes, they are being rescued and save now. Well Done!! Just move on and carry on with your life, why keep on dragging from it. Thais can't move on from anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meinphuket Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 To movie producers I would say, don't shoot it in Thailand. This so called 'commission' will be ignorant, over-lording it, and there will be expensive law suits afterwards as in 'The Beach' saga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM07 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Oh...so if the Culture Ministry is involved, I guess a documentary, based on facts, is off the table! I can imagine, what will happen in this movie, but making my predictions known, might get me in deep deep doo-doo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like 'Anna and the King', a film company will be frustrated by Thai demands and finish up making it on location somewhere else. Movie makers bent over backwards to film 'Anna and the King' in Thailand but after changing the script so many times to appease the Thai government, it was made in Malaysia and Singapore.

Chris Lawrence Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 This is the guy that didn't get along with the Governor of Chiang Rai due to the Governor complaining that only 60% of funds were getting thru from Bangkok for infrastructure spending and the purchase of art work that was thought 10 times more than retail. So what do you call a man like this. Mr 40%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fullcave Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 There are so many potential movies in Thailand. I saw another football team loaded into a pickup truck yesterday, standing room only, with a 6mm water pipe being the only thing holding them in, I counted 15. They also escaped death. It would make a great movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shackleton Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Well this was unexpected making a movie this Cave will no doubt become one of Thailand's top tourist destinations Once the movie is out there will be no stopping the number of tourists arriving Always look on the bright side Farangs could be charged Thai prices for entry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chingmai331 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 About 250 km to China from Chiang Rai, so expect many chinese ghouls, oops sorry, tourists to come and visit the cave, suck from the nearest stalactite, write a name/date on the wall, toss instant noodle cups all over the cave, take a 1000 selfies and have a great time being fearless in the cave. Next year in Lonely Planet guide to Northern Thailand, i predict at least 2 pages devoted to Thum Luang cave, the lodges nearby, the street food available and cost of massages parlors in Mae Sai.

There is another Country between China and Thailand and Chinese cannot drive cars from China to Thailand , Chinese people would have to fly from China to BKK and then up to Maesai .

DM07 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Okay...I am really asking myself, WHAT is the material to make a movie out of this, if you don't prop it up with all kinds of religious and nationalistic humbug? 13 people sitting in the dark for some days, sharing some food and drinking water! Outside, people are preparing the rescue - mission, which so happens! The End! But let me guess: a monk predicts, the boys will be found! (Well...not where he predicts it, but...oh well...!) The boys sit inside the dark and ask for strength by looking teary eyed at pictures of you- know- who, which they all carry with them at any given time! Cut back to outside, where the big head-honcho arrives and his mere presence gives hope to the rescuers and the parents and everybody around! See the great Thai- Navy and Army working tirelessly to come up with the best solutions and there is an English cave- diver but quickly back to the open water dive instructors of the Navy Seals....

theonetrueaussie Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 So why would they bother coming to thailand and dealing with all the red tape and having everything controlled by another group. They will film it in another country with hollywood actors and just say it is loosly based on the mu pa teams story while holding 100% control of the movie and the direction of the movie as well as 100% of the profits lol.

Well here's the thing, they said that they need to focus on securing caves around the nation, and making things more safe for Thais and tourists. Where is the money and effort being put into those statements? I don't know, do you? Instead, we hear that money and effort is going to be put into a movie however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hand me a bucket, please!? I agree with you, DM07 - agree with you very much. I particularly liked your comment about a certain inspiring portrait getting the boys through their ordeal and about the Thai film flashing brief glimpses of the English/Australian/ other Western divers, but then giving a huge, protracted focus on the Thai Navy Seals, and the arrival of our wonderful Leader. And we will all learn that what we had previously thought of as barely enough to live on (in terms of food, oxygen, accommodation), etc, is actually sufficient - more than enough, as the boys have proven ... Oh, yes - it will be an exercise in jingoism, superstition, and foolish nationalism if the military junta have any real control over the project - depend upon it.
