so, pre-empting the inevitable (and assuming it all continues to go to plan)...
What will the film be called?
Who will star in it?

doesnt Gillian Tailforth have a bit of a reputation for going down (on) shafts?
do they have many Range Rovers in Chile?0 -
Be a bit boring - rockfall at start then everyone living happily underground for 69 days before being safely brought to the surface with no drama. As the whole thing has played out in front of the world's TV everything has already been seen and we know the ending, it even means that Hollywood couldn't do its usual 'true story' artistic licence bit and have the strongest miners living off the flesh of their weaker colleagues

They could have giant subterranean dinosaurs that have been lying dormant for thousands of years being roused by the sound of marimba music being played by the miners to maintain morale. The dinosaurs could then launch a series of increasingly violent attacks on the miners who could improvise weapons from their drilling equipment in a desperate bid to buy time as the rescuers execute the evacuation. Music by Linkin Park, lots of gadgets and that.
It'd be great.0 -
Theres a billy wilder film called ace in the hold about a trapped geezer, they'll no doubt nick bits of that.
For me I'd have a Jeremy Beadle type as the site foreman who sends down food supplies of beans, figs, prunes and peanuts. I'd call it An Ill Wind.The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.0 -
I'm sure there could be lots of drama drawn out of the bit we haven't seen yet - the bit where they have to live in each others company for 69 days without going mad. A bit like Lord of the Flies - only not with kids, and not on an island, and down a mine....in Chile.0

How about 'Lord of the Flies 2 - This Time They're Underground' or similar such Hollywood style sequel title.0

The cast needs to be whittled down from 33 though, so i suggest Zombies.The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns

I would suggest the next series of 'I'm a celebrity.." will be off to Chile. I would pay money to watch that...0

I swear there's a joke about George Micheal and the Chilean Miners - both released after being drilled for 69 days or something.
Oh dear.0 -
Yes please - can we get Chris Moyles down there? Actually, they'd have to drill a wider shaft...softlad wrote:I would suggest the next series of 'I'm a celebrity.." will be off to Chile. I would pay money to watch that...0 -

It will just be the end that gets changed, everyone was fukced until the Americans came along and rescued everyone because everyone is helpless without the fantastic USofA.0 -
Coming back to the music, apparently somebody's just dropped a piano down the shaft.
When it hit the bottom it played one last chord - A flat minor.
Apologies.0 -

Wasn't it some good old Yanks who actually did offer their services in this case having seen it on TV? I saw something briefly on TV the other day that appeared to be suggesting that. Obviously, if this is the case, then their role would have to become far more action packed and they will have to be played by some 'hunk'. So probably we'll have a couple of geotechnical engineers played by Brad and George who hand dig a tunnel to rescue them as the clueless Chilean government stand incompetently on the side lines.0 -
are you suggesting thats how they have kept themselves entertained - glad I didnt see that on the webcam !!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:IronHorse100 wrote:

Weren't NASA involved in developing the capsule? So now Brad & George travel in a space ship to Phobos to hand dig a tunnel to rescue everyone abandoned by Gordon Brown.0 -
Gordon Brown to be played by Dougray Scott - always need a Brit villain and it's often him. We need to find a role for Hugh Grant as a bumbling Brit in there too somehow.0

I hope the miners don't sell out and go commercial. I preferred them when they were underground...0

They call in Bruce Willis and his crack team of wildcat drillers. Bruce comes to the rescue in a giant SUV. They drill a big hole in 10 mins and drop an atom bomb down it. The atom bomb gets stuck so one of the lesser known but more photogenic members of his team volunteers to clear the obstruction. They rescue Good Looking Man because he has a pregnant wife or he fancies Bruce's leggy daughter (or both) so Bruce volunteers to detonate the bomb, freeing all the trapped miners to into little bits.0

What about 4 beautiful rescue chicks go down there, but instead of rescuing the miners they just suck them off instead?0

That won't be filmed any time soon.0 -

Knowing the adult entertainment industry (which I obviously don't :oops: ) I'd say that has already been filmed and put on sale. Their production times seem to be slightly quicker than mainstream movies. It's probably got a title along the lines of "Back Passage Miners Go Deep" 0 -

That's not a problem, there's always the European industry to save the day 0
