Ghana World Cup Row May Inspire Film by Suarezilla(m): 7:31am On Oct 09, 2014
One of the most controversial stories from the 2014 World Cup is set for the big screen treatment.
In June, the Ghana team refused to train just days before their final group match against Portugal because of a row over appearance fees.
Ghana's government stepped in and sent more than $3m (£1.8m) in cash by plane to Brazil to pay the players.
Bugeater Films, a United States film production company, is aiming to turn the story into a Hollywood hit.
They have hired screenwriter Darryl Wharton-Rigby to pen the movie.
Wharton-Rigby, a former staff writer for acclaimed US TV series Homicide: Life on the Street, is writing a thriller based on the incident.

"You can just see that scene playing out in your mind with someone like Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson as the guy having to save the day."
"Football and the players needing the money is kind of the backdrop to the story," Wharton-Rigby told the BBC World Service Sportshour programme.
"But it's really about the journey of the guy who actually is entrusted to deliver the money and what happens if he doesn't get it there in time.
"I actually want the guy who's the hero of the story to be from Ghana. I think there should be a hero who is African telling the story."
