LLOYD, PUT ARI ON THE PHONE!
WME has added 33 new clients. They are the Chilean miners who were rescued last October after being trapped together for 69 days after the copper mine they were working in collapsed August 5, 2010 in Copiapo. The men were stuck 2000 feet underground, and were finally rescued one at a time. The miners continue to be an inspiring story of survival, though reports indicate many are still having trouble processing the ordeal [Ed. note: best sentence in this news report about them getting Hollywood agents? Dopest detail? #swag].
WME will rep life rights in all areas, including TV, film, books, commercials, theater and lectures. WME has the ability to sell a rights package that will include a daily journal kept by one of the miners. They haven’t aligned with anyone until now. WME will work with Arent Fox, the law firm working with the group, as well as Chilean firms Carey y Cia and Remberto Valdes.

So now that Two and A Half Men is off the air, their show is going in that slot, right?
Thirty Two and a Half Mine?
Buried, starring Ryan Reynolds as all 33 Chilean miners.
i just watched that over the weekend, and was actually really impressed that Ryan Reynolds pulled it off.
I hope they didn’t buy up their life story rights just to sit on them like they did with Baby Jessica.
I dont see why you can’t just be happy for them
yeah i cant be pissed at some guys for wanting to get paid after spending over two month trapped in a fucking hole in the ground
I Love You, William Morris
The Chilean Miners totally sold out. I liked them better when they were underground.
LOVE YOU
You should make this into a Hipster Ariel thing. Does that meme still exist?
I can’t wait until next week when six of them are in rehab and Gabe’s post about it has 213 comments and we need to hit the reset button again.
4 8 15 16 23 42 33.
And somehow Chet Haze is still unsigned
awww man, i thought they were mine
I got too excited and thought we’d be getting some Chilean publications from the Kelmscott.
yeah for a second there I had thought we had briefly turned into arthistorygum, but then I actually read the rest of the headline
I think that would be way cooler.
This is just in time for the live action Snow White remake!
Of course, the witch queen will be replaced with a sexy vampire, Snow White with a sexy vampire. And all the woodland animals will be sexy.
Wait, you didn’t mention a werewolf. I thought all movies had to have a werewolf now.
Oh sure, spoil the twist.
Well, at least when they win Best New Artist at the Grammys next year a few people will have heard of them.
“The Chilean Miners”-some kinda vidya game
wHo iz Espirnza SpauldiN?
Can’t wait to see the deal they strike up with toy companies. Miner action figures and playsets!
I read this Phillip Morris signs the Chilean Miners
I can’t wait until they release their album “Songs in a Miner key”
A show inspired by their time in the mine is in development with the working title, “Please Don’t Piss and Shit in My Sleeping Corner, Please!”
I hope those miners put that sort of representation to good use. Theirs a lot of artist out their who would love to be in their situation. Not to have been stuck in a mine, but represented by WMA.
