Awesome news. But how long until Hollywood capitalizes on this event and makes a movie? "... Based on a true story, starring insert big name actor here..."

Actual quote from the source article, literally by Michael Scott:

>Pure Flix films managing partner Michael Scott told AAP in Chiang Rai, “I see this as a major Hollywood film with A-list stars”.

The film crew are already in the cave filming. It is not a bad thing since everyone trapped is out. They have to collect as much data as possible while everything is still fresh

Interesting stories (like this) are extremely valuable to our species. The movie about the Chilean miners [1] being trapped was an amazing film and I learned much about the conditions of miners and mine safety from viewing it and reading up on it later. It also shined a light on the local Chilean politics at the time.

It's hardly just mere Hollywood money grabbing IMO.
