For months we've been hearing that the riveting true story of the Chilean miners, who were trapped underground for 69 days would be turned into a movie, and now TVGuide.com is reporting that Mike Medavoy (the producer of the Oscar-nominated film, Black Swan) has acquired the rights to the story and he's tapped Jose Rivera—the scribe who wrote the Che Guevara biopic, The Motorcycle Diaries—to adapt the film, which is set to begin filming next year!
Since the roles for the film have yet to be cast, we thought it would be fun to cast them ourselves. Here are our dream casting choices for the film!
