The 33 Chilean miners rescued last October after spending 69 days trapped underground are to have their astonishing story of survival made into a Hollywood film.
The men have sold the film rights to the Hollywood producer responsible for the Oscar-winning Black Swan and have promised to give a no-holds-barred account of their ordeal, the Telegraph reports.
"This is the only official and authorized film about what we lived in the San Jose mine," said Juan Andres Illanes, one of Los 33, as they have become known.
"Much of our story has never been told," Illanes added.
The film will be based on the writings of one of the miners, Victor Segovia, a 49-year-old father of four who kept a dairy while trapped in the mine.
Oscar-nominated screenwriter Jose Rivera has been signed up to adapt the story for the big screen.
