September 22 is up Netflix the miniseries Thai Cave Rescue Recounting the dramatic events of July 2018, when 12 boys from a soccer team were trapped with their coach in a cave near Chiang Rai.
The Thai Cave Rescue miniseries, which will be on Netflix, will be divided into six parts, and will already be the fourth adaptation of these events, but according to the streaming platform, it is “the most authentic and comprehensive story of these events”. The project was directed by Nattawut “Baz” Poonpiriya (“One for the Road”, “Bad Genius”) and Kevin Tancharoen (“The Brothers Sun”, “The Book of Boba Fett”, “Warrior”).
The first adaptation of these events dates back to 2019 with The Cave, made by British director Tom Waller, who decided to combine reconstructions and new films on that occasion. Then in 2021 the documentary The Rescue, made by Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, was released for The National Geographic, which is also available on the Disney+ streaming platform.
The latest adaptation will be released soon (August 5 arrives on Prime Video), and Ron Howard will direct a cast of mostly Thai artists, flanked by Viggo Mortensen, Colin Farrell, Joel Edgerton and Tom Bateman, for the project titled “13 Lives” , made by MGM.
