Darryl Wharton-Rigby, a renowned American movie writer has set out to shoot a movie which showcases the Ghana World Cup cash story in Brazil.
Even though the movie is expected to be based on the Black Stars' payment situation, additional stories would be added to spice the movie..
The plot of the movie includes a line where the $3m would be stolen after the courier is successfully ambushed. He would then have less than 12 hours to recover the money or face the wrath of his employers (and presumably the Ghanaian footballers).
According to UK’s Guardian;
The screenplay has been optioned by US production company Bugeater, whose founders Dan Mirvish and Barry Hennessey will produce the film.
Hennessy, an Emmy winner for reality TV show The Amazing Race, told the Wrap: “I’ve shot extensively in both Ghana and Brazil, and this is a perfect project to capture the raw energy that both countries have to offer.”
Wharton-Rigby’s 1998 film Detention won the best director prize at the Urbanworld film festival. The thriller is the second football-related project to emerge in the past few weeks, following news that Hollywood studio Warner Bros plans to capitalise on US World Cup fever with a remake of cult classic Michael Caine tale Escape to Victory.
