The movie will chronicle “the events surrounding the mine’s collapse and the subsequent rescue efforts, which culminated in the emotional retrieval of all 33 miners after 69 days trapped half a mile beneath the surface."
Jose Rivera, who was nominated for an Oscar for writing The Motorcycle Diaries, will pen the script
“Like millions of people around the world, I was completely engrossed watching the rescue at Copiapó. At its heart, this is a story about the triumph of the human spirit and a testament to the courage and perseverance of the Chilean people. I can't think of a better story than this one to bring to the screen,” said Medavoy.
Production on the film is scheduled to start in 2012.
