Director Jon M. Chu Won't Let the Thai Cave Rescue Story Be Whitewashed on Screen
EntertainmentWhile there’s already one movie in development about the 12 boys who were dramatically rescued recently from a flooding cave in Thailand, Jon M. Chu, director of the forthcoming Crazy Rich Asians, doesn’t have faith that the film will accurately depict the story. Specifically, as was the case with Annihilation, Ghost in the Shell, 21, and many other films, there’s the risk that the film will be whitewashed. (Stay away, Scarlett Johansson.)
