Ghana World Cup scandal to become film

A film focussing on the scandal surrounding Ghana's 2014 World Cup campaign has been announced.
It will be based on the incident that occurred when the Ghana team refused to train before their final group match against Portugal in June due to a fallout regarding pay, reported BBC online.
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.

"It's very much truth stranger than fiction. I saw footage of the police cars taking the money on the highway and 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. You can see all kinds of mayhem happening on the highway.
"I can see the poster now; lots of soccer balls, a stadium and a guy on the run," Wharton-Rigby said.
