Did we hear he donated his "invention" to the Thai people?

It will be interesting to see how they 'movie up' what happened.
There can't be any element of surprise, since we all know the outcome already.
Do you think they can add a romantic sub plot like Titanic?
There also isn't much scope for spectacular effects, like when the Titanic started to sink.

Maybe they could exaggerate a villain's role in the movie?
Perhaps a media hungry, global power tripper who tries to take over the rescue for the sole benefit of his corporations only to be thwarted in the end by an old local British cave diver?
Just as well I didn't go into the movie business...

They made a movie about the plane landing on the Hudson river and everyone knew how that ended before hand.

Back on topic, now that the rescue was such a success, I expect the movie will definitely go ahead. 
Im actually looking forward to a Hollywood dramatisation of it, Im pretty sure there will be a 'real events' documentary which lays all the facts and technical aspects bare and gives recognition to the heroes and all thsoe who took part.
I also think there is a room for it to get a full major movie treatment where they add all the special effects, suspense and slick production that only a major studio can do. 2 movies, a documentary and a blockbuster and a giant box of popcorn. 
It would be nice to see those kids, maybe even the rescuers roll up to the Oscars in 2 years and we all get to revisit the unity that this story brought us all.

Hopefully they don't white wash the movie and only use white actors for the British/Australian etc. I suppose in this climate they wouldn't take the chance of swapping white for Thai. You wouldn't know with Hollywood though!

Those boys will be shipped all over the world to appear on chat shows. My guess is Ellen De Generes will be in there first.

They've been advised to spend time with their families and stay away from the media. Only one of the 13 can speak english, which is probably a blessing.

Question is, will they take the advice or be tempted.

Lovely to see those boys out of hospital today, looking so fit and well.

A great mural is being painted to commemorate them and the diver who lost his life. That will go down as one of the great art works in history. Everything could have been so different. A different mural could have been painted, that would also have gone down in history.

Not always a fan of governments sticking their nose everywhere they can stick it in but in this case it might actually be a good idea.

Still, just tell "Hollywood" to feck off and do it yourself, Thailand.

CHIANG RAI — Nearly a week after being discharged from hospital, most of those recently rescued from a flooded cave gathered Tuesday at a temple to ordain as monks.

Wearing white, the Wild Boars football team gathered for an ordination ceremony this morning at Wat Phra That Doi Wao in Chiang Rai’s Mae Sai district, two weeks after they were rescued from inside Luang Nang Non cave, where they were trapped for 18 days.

Not all the boys ordained as Buddhist monks. Adul Sam-on, who is Christian, was at a church to perform a Christian ceremony.

The 11 boys and their 25-year-old coach will have their heads shaved later today prior to the ceremony. They will remain in the monkhood for a fortnight until Aug. 4.

The gesture was meant to honor Lt. Cmdr. Saman Kunan, or “Sgt. Sam,” who died during the cave rescue operation.

That is so amazing. They are a wonderful set of people. Really something special about all of them.
