BPitt100210_07_X17chil.jpg Brad Pitt's production company Plan B Entertainment is negotiating to buy the film rights for the story of the trapped Chilean miners, according to Santiago's El Mercurio newspaper.

As you may remember, 33 workers were trapped underground in the San Jose mine near near Copiapo, Chile this past August, and they all survived for an astonishing 69 days.

Attorney Edgardo Reinoso Lundstedt told the newspaper that Pitt's company has offered several million to make the movie and producers from Plan B have already visited the country twice already. Lundstedt added that the miners intend to create a holding company to distribute the money equally among themselves before committing to anyone.
