Bill O'Reilly's bestseller novel "Killing Kennedy" is now being made in a TV flick and will be produced by National Geographic.
Bill O'Reilly and National Geographic are all set for yet another collaboration. After successfully producing one of O'Reilly's bestsellers "Killing Lincoln", the channel will be airing the TV flick adaptation of another O'Reilly bestseller "Killing Kennedy".
The production will be directed by Ridley Scott through his Scott Free Productions.
"The common parallels between Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy are astonishing, with both assassinations profoundly changing the nation during crucial moments in its history," said O'Reilly in a report published by Hollywood reproter. "It made perfect sense that my follow-up to Lincoln would naturally lead to Kennedy."
"With the tremendous success of SEAL Team Six, our first feature film, and the growing excitement over this February's premiere of Killing Lincoln, producing Bill O'Reilly's follow-up was a no-brainer and will be yet another story that will resonate with our audience," said National Geographic Channel president Howard Owens. "As Scott Free Productions continue to be perfect partners -- taking risks and breaking new ground in storytelling -- we are claiming a stake in producing factual dramas, delivering entertainment with substance."
The unit hopes to begin shooting for the two-hour TV film this spring after airing "Killing Lincoln" this February. The telepic will be aired in the 171 countries that carry Nat Geo.
"Collaborating with National Geographic on Bill O'Reilly's follow-up was an easy decision," said Scott. "They share the same passion of storytelling and are willing to take creative leaps and risks to keep viewers entertained to tell the provocative story of Kennedy's last days, a pivotal and historic moment."
