Has anyone heard of this movie.

Cave Explorer Movie
Reporter: Sarah Goebel

Hollywood is making a movie about the rescue attempt of a cave explorer from a South Central Kentucky Cave.
The film is based off "Trapped", a book written by Robert Murray and Roger Brucker from Beavercreek, OH.
It's about the unsuccessful rescue attempt of Floyd Collins from Sand Cave near Mammoth Cave.
To write the book, Brucker sneaked into the sealed-off cave in 1977 and reconstructed the two week rescue attempt.
Seventy-six year old Brucker has written four books on caves and is a co-founder of The Cave Research Foundation.
The Paramount Pictures' film will be directed by and star Billy Bob Thorton.


I was wondering if it really came out or not. I think the news post I ran across is an old post.

Hi Tony,

If the movie has came out yet, I haven't heard about it. Here is a previous thread about the movie: nssmembersforum.proboards28.com/index.cgi?board=talk&action=display&thread=1142000074

Thanks Sharon,

I didn't see the post from earlier last year.


Have you read the book?

[Sharon Faulkner]

No, I haven't read the book yet. Brucker is pretty thorough, so I'd imagine it would be a good read.

I just read it over the summer and I highly recommend it. I'm kicking myself that I didnt visit the cave-site where the whole thing occurred. I was within miles of it last spring when I was at Mammoth.

To be truthful, I keep reading the same articles over and over, but I havent seen or heard anything that indicates that they are actually working on this movie. I'm beginning to doubt that they are. Maybe they are waiting for some of these more hokey cave movies to be forgotten before they make release it.

I would be sure to see it if it is ever released though.
