Many may remember how in 2018 newsreels shared the devastating story of twelve boys and their soccer coach being trapped inside a cave in Thailand. The fate of these thirteen lives was entirely unknown for over two weeks. With an international rescue effort consisting of over 10,000 people, after 18 days trapped in the Thai Luang cave system, the thirteen saw freedom. All survived thanks to the brave divers of the rescue team. Inspired by this true story, William Nicholson wrote a screenplay, and in 2020, Deadline announced the building anticipation for Ron Howard's role in producing and directing the biographical survival film Thirteen Lives. While other productions are in the works focusing on this true story, "sources who read the script by Nicholson see Thirteen Lives as another Apollo 13 for Howard," according to Deadline Co-Editor-in-Chief Mike Fleming Jr.
