Ron Howard was as transfixed as the rest of the world in 2018 when a massive international rescue effort came together to save 12 Thai youth soccer players and their coach who were trapped in a flooded underground cave. <\/p>\n
That\u2019s also why Howard and his crew became obsessed with not only telling their story but doing so with a maximum level of truth and honesty about what actually transpired over the course of that long summer month.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the Deadline\u2019s The Contenders Film: Los Angeles panel Saturday, supervising sound editor Rachel Tate talked about the granular level of detail they pursued while producing the film.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a viewer, you can go into those scenes, close your eyes, and the voices that you hear passing by, they\u2019re from the countries that actually were there,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re saying the lines that were actually said at that time, and even a Thai crowd was recorded about 45 minutes from the real cave. So we just needed to get these details right because it\u2019s a Thai story. It\u2019s their story. They\u2019re very proud of it, and we have no duty being wrong about these details.\u201d<\/p>\n
The drive for authenticity carried over to every aspect of the production, until the actors themselves \u2014 who were meant to be body-doubled by real trained divers for the underwater scenes \u2014 insisted on doing their own diving. <\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t think they should do it for safety reasons and production-wise where there was no way to make it fit,\u201d Howard said, \u201cbut they were so insistent upon it. nd once we determined that they were competent enough that they can safely do it\u2026they would just show up and you know, every hour that they weren\u2019t in front of the cameras doing dialogue, they were there doing the diving and it made all the difference in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
Howard also explained how the cast and crew took the time to learn about Thai culture and developed an appreciation for Thai spiritual practices that carried over into the filming. <\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the divers who said \u2018I\u2019m not a particularly religious person\u2019 \u2014 at the end when he walked out, he said, \u2018I had to take a moment and bow my head to the shrine of the princess because how else could this have happened?\u201d<\/p>\n
