MUMBAI: Brad Pitt’s production company "Plan B" Entertainment Company is in talks for film rights of the story of 33 miners rescued after surviving two months trapped deep underground in Chile. The 33 miners were removed to freedom on October 13 after being trapped for a record 69 days in a collapsed mine in Chile.
Attorney Edgardo Reinoso who represents the men said that Pitt‘s production house wants to make a film rendering of the men‘s harrowing underground captivity that ended last month. He said that the company made a multi-million-dollar offer to win the rights to make the film.
Several of the rescued miners might even be tapped for roles in the film, it is understood. The miners want to create a holding company that would manage any proceeds from their miraculous and improbable story before sealing any deal, so that the funds could be equitably distributed among all the men.
Plan B has produced several Hollywood films including the recently released, The Time Traveler‘s Wife, Kick-Ass and Eat, Pray, Love.
