A Hollywood company owned by movie star Brad Pitt is in talks for film rights to the story of 33 miners rescued after surviving two months trapped deep underground in Chile, local media reported.

A lawyer for the miners told the daily El Mercurio that 46-year-old Pitt's "Plan B" Entertainment Company, hopes also to create a film rendering of the men's harrowing underground captivity, which ended last month.

Attorney Edgardo Reinoso, who represents the men, said Pitt's company made a multi-million-dollar offer to win the rights to make the film.

Several of the rescued miners might even be tapped for roles in the film, according to the newspaper.

Plan B has produced several Hollywood films including the recently released, "The Time Traveler's Wife," "Kick-Ass" and "Eat, Pray, Love."

The miners say they want to create a holding company that would manage any proceeds from their miraculous and improbable story before sealing any deal, so that the funds could be equitably distributed among all the men.

Reinoso said he has been flooded with proposals from numerous groups looking for interviews or hoping to seal commercial deals with the miners, with an average 10 propositions per day, according to El Mercurio.

The 33 miners were hoisted to freedom on October 13, after being trapped for a record 69 days in a collapsed mine in Chile.

Their dramatic rescue, as they were pulled painstakingly out of the mine one by one, garnered global attention and celebrity.

2个月前在智利受困的33名矿工的律师埃德加多·雷诺索（Edgardo Reinoso）今天向媒体透露，布拉德·皮特（Brad Pitt）的“B计划”（Plan B）制片公司已经获得了受困矿工故事的电影改编权。

2010年8月5日，智利北部阿塔卡马沙漠中一处名为圣何塞的铜金矿发生塌方事故，导致在井下作业的32名智利籍矿工和1名玻利维亚籍矿工陷于700米深的地下。救援工作立刻展开，世界各国纷纷伸出援手。在经过长达69天的漫长等待后，33名受困矿工被全部成功救出，创造了人类营救史上的奇迹。

而这33名矿工的命运也就此改变，大批媒体找他们采访、很多出版商找到他们希望将他们的故事出书，据埃德加多·雷诺索透露，平均每天他会收到10份邀请。

而好莱坞也没有闲着，多家公司纷纷出手争夺电影改编权，最终布拉德·皮特的“B计划”花了几百万美元的价钱买断了此次受困智利矿工故事的电影改编权。

目前还不清楚这部影片的其它细节，但据说，部分受救矿工将在影片中扮演他们自己。
