Netflix, makers of ‘Crazy Rich Asians’, team up for Thai cave rescue production

BANGKOK - Netflix agreed on Tuesday to team up with the makers of Crazy Rich Asians for a production based on the gripping real-life rescue of the “Wild Boars” football team from a flooded Thai cave.

The twists and turns of their dramatic 18-day rescue dominated international headlines, as dive experts worked round the clock to extract them from the bowels of the cave with waters rising and food running out. “We are looking to tell the most authentic story possible,” she said, adding it would not be finished this year but refused to confirm the format it would take.

No financial details were given at Tuesday’s press conference amid rumours of life-changing payouts to the team and their families in exchange for helping with the project.
