Two companies have announced plans to make a film about the rescue of 12 boys and their soccer coach from a flooded cave last year. The team was trapped underground in northern Thailand for more than two weeks. The American video streaming service Netflix is joining with SK Global Entertainment to create the film. They made the announcement Tuesday in Bangkok. SK Global is the production company that produced the movie “Crazy Rich Asians.” It and Netflix received the rights to the cave rescue story from 13 Tham Luang Company Limited. The Thai government helped establish 13 Tham Luang to represent the interests of the boys and their coach. Thailand's Culture Ministry first announced the film deal as a television miniseries in March. A government official said at the time that the families of the cave survivors would each be paid about $94,000.
