Popular Post BobBKK Posted March 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2021 That's one movie I will sadly miss. I'm shocked Ron is interested to direct it but they put pressure on him and he caved in. 1 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CharlieH Posted March 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2021 Holds no interest for me, its a shame they couldnt film it in Thailand and at least come closer to the real thing. Thailand is a fool to itself sometimes with their attitudes. Missed out on a huge opportunity there. (IMHO) 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are documentaries on Youtube of the real events, with the real people , with the real " atmostphere " ; what American actors have to do with this story ? may be interesting, but just a movie , without the real emotion : we know the end already 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTB1977 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 If you remember the tight control the government but on the 12 boys after they were rescued. They dictated every media contact and kept them away from all outside news/movie making companies wanting to pay for their stores. This belongs to Thailand only was the goal. So no way this can be made here. They would rewrite the script and edit the hell out of it to conform to Thailand ideas. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shackleton Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I would be surprised if many or if any people on here on Thai visa have not heard of the cave rescue But there are people in other parts of the World who may not have Ron Howard is a good film producer and knows this will be a money winner 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think if the Thai authorities had been more ''open'' about this and allowed international involvement after the rescue, everyone would have won, including Thailand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It protected the children from being exploited, and minimized the potential for PTSD. Did the children really need media interviews? 3 hours ago, DefaultName said: I don't really remember Americans being much in evidence at the time, but I'd place money on an American being the hero in this film. ???? As in most US made films, USA is the hero. even when USA was nowhere to be found, Americans will say they were there, saving the world.

From what I recall,the rescuers were regular normal human beings performing a specialist task they had great experience in. They weren't the super beautiful Hollywood types mentioned in the article. Musk was so unimpressed with the heroes appearance that he resorted to rather expensive name calling, which would certainly not happened if the guys looked like Farrell or Mortenson. Personally I don't have a problem with how the kids were "treated" by the authorities. There is something comforting that they haven't been in the media spotlight and appear to be getting on with their lives without any circus following them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmarshall Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Too bad. Ron Howard is one of the biggest hack directors in Hollywood making simplistic, formulaic movies every time. He should have stayed in Mayberry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
