Ghana's World Cup shambles could be turned into a Hollywood hit.

In Brazil this summer, the Black Stars refused to train ahead of their final group match with Portugal due to a row over appearance fees.

The match was plunged into doubt before the Ghana government stepped in and sent over £1.8million in cash to pay the players - with US film company Bugeater Films now attempting to take the story to the big screen.

Screenwhiter Darryl Wharton-Rigby has been hired to write the movie and admits he can visage Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson as one possible actor.

He told the BBC World Service: "It's very much truth stranger than fiction. Football and the players needing the money is kind of the backdrop to the story.

"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 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."

"It's 50-50 as to whether it will get made, we're still at the early stages so we're going to take it one step at a time. It's a fascinating story and I think audiences internationally would really take to it."

Ex-Premier League stars Sulley Muntari and Kevin-Prince Boateng were also sent home during Ghana's World Cup campaign over alleged indiscipline but there is no confirmation if their fall-out would make the film.
