'Thirteen Lives' starts shooting

My screenplay for ‘Thirteen Lives’, the story of the Thai boys’ football team that became trapped in a cave, starts shooting on Monday March 29, in sets built near Brisbane, Australia. Ron Howard directs a cast that includes Viggo Mortensen, Colin Farrell and Joel Edgerton, as well as some of Thailand’s leading actors. I’ve stayed here in lockdown in Sussex, trading Zoom calls with Ron as the screenplay has evolved. It feels strange to see pictures of the sets, and to think that all that way away the story in which I’ve been so involved is being brought to life. I’ve been on so many film sets, and it’s still a magical experience after all these years; but this time I must imagine it from afar.
