The Mexican fishermen who were rescued by a Taiwanese tuna vessel on August 9^th near the Marshall Islands after drifting for nine months and nine days on board of a small boat,  have signed a contract with an American film producing  company.  

The three survivors: Salvador Ordonez, Lucio Rendon and Jesus Eduardo Vidana will become movie stars now that the have sold the rights to narrate their voyage at open sea.

The American film producing and publishing company has signed and exclusive contract with the three survivors for an adventure is now being described as “the first greatest shipwreck of the XX1st century”.

The three protagonists will receive up to USD 3.8 million altogether within a six- year-period.  Although the fishermen will not be the actors in the movie, they will monitor the project closely the project which is in English and will have Mexican actors.

They do not want the film to be in “Hollywood style”, because “that would weaken the story of how they survived the ordeal. “Furthermore, all the ongoing rumors will be clarified in the movie, such as the death of their two co-workers and any suspicion about their trafficking in drugs”, they said.

The producers recorded 10 hours of tape with each of the three fishermen to document the story.
