Chile-based attorney Guillermo Carey says the 33 men are forming corporation and could seek a single book, film deal with one media company.

The Chilean miners are going Hollywood.

Reps for the 33 mine workers rescued in October are putting the finishing touches on a unique pitch to sell rights to the dramatic saga that captured global attention. The miners have hired a team of lawyers who are finalizing a corporation that will collectively own book and movie rights to each miner’s story, positioning the group to potentially sell the whole package to a single media company for a lump sum.
