Make the movie in Costa Rica. Looks like Thailand. Has many caves. Then fly a bunch of Thais from Los Angeles to be character actors and extras. 

Thailand won't see a cent. A lot less costly for Universal Studios too.

Good Lord, you forgot the head Honcho himself "Uncle Tuu" the absolute hero of the piece, he should not under any circumstances be left out!

OK i've calmed down a bit now Phew!

thailand and intellectual rights....; they care only when they can benefit themselves

 

And, of course, you've got to add on the obligatory 3 months 'mulling' time . . . or that's what they like to call it. Truth is, they reckon it'll take longer than that to find a dictionary with 'intellectual' in . . . now that they've discovered it's an English word.

The cave rescue was a bigger propaganda coup than the junta could have ever dreamed of, this story, not particularly interesting to many people including many Thais, will never be allowed go away. Perhaps the production team who made Fifty Shades of Grey, itself one of the most boring, deluded and un-sexy movies ever released, could call the cave drama [which I wouldn't dream of going to see] Fifty Shades of Exploitation and Corruption.

 

Propaganda maybe, but what happens when a Hollywood film shows the heroic rescuers from other countries doing their thing with Thais as the support.

Agree with above comment. If the Thais manage it, the kids and their families may get precious little. We all know things work in Thailand. They will be given a token small sum and told to be happy with their in-Thailand fame. 

 

Let Farang properly manage this one and MUCH more money will end up with the families. 

At least if hollywood do it the families may get some compensation which is a lot more than the Thais will ever give them

Well there are some retired and jobless guys in the Monty Python crew who could play his part well and most likely much more entertaining...
