Reading Time: < 1 minuteFilmmaker Ron Howard is on board to direct ‘Thirteen Lives’, a film based on Thailand’s Tham Luang cave rescue.
Howard will be directing the mid-budget drama from a screenplay written by William Nicholson, reports Deadline.
In 2018, a 12-member boys football team along with their assistant coach got trapped 1,000 meters underground in a cave, with monsoon rains flooding it and blocking their way out. They were trapped for more than two weeks, and came out after a huge rescue operation, which also claimed the life of a retired Thai Navy SEAL whose oxygen ran out.
