In the summertime of 2018, the world was gripped by the unfolding saga in Thailand as a boys’ soccer crew turn out to be trapped deep within the Tham Luang cave throughout a torrential downpour. The rescue mission introduced collectively the planet’s most expert and skilled divers, together with 10,000 volunteers, in an epic effort to get the younger boys out alive.
There was a collective sigh of reduction world wide when all 12 boys and their coach had been rescued after the 18-day ordeal (although two Thai Navy Seals lost their lives, one throughout the operation and one other of a associated blood an infection), after which everybody had the identical thought: Wouldn’t this make an superior film? Nicely, people, nearly precisely 4 years later, right here it’s: 13 Lives, directed by Ron Howard.
The movie stars Viggo Mortensen, Colin Farrell, and Joel Edgerton as cave divers Richard Stanton, John Volanthen, and Richard Harris, who performed main roles within the rescue, in addition to Thai actors Weir Sukollawat Kanaros, James Teeradon Supapunpinyo and Vithaya Pansringarm. The film is launched in cinemas tomorrow (July twenty ninth) and premieres globally on Amazon Prime Video on August fifth. Important viewing for all divers!
