In marketing Oliver Stone's 1991 New Orleans-shot, Kennedy-
assassination conspiracy theory "JFK," Warner Bros. referred to it as
"the story that won't go away." Now, some 21 years later, another film
company is doing its part to make sure that claim remains true.
The Los Angeles-based Atchity Entertainment, in partnership with the
Florida-based Ramos & Sparks Group, announced plans today (April 16)
for a feature film based on one insider's account of the Kennedy
assassination. The production is described it as an "answer to Oliver
Stone's fanciful 'JFK.'"
The new film will be based on the New York Times bestseller "The
Kennedy Detail," written by former Secret Service agent Gerald Blaine
- a former member of Kennedy's security detail -- with journalist Lisa
McCubbin.
The book has already spawned a Discovery Channel documentary, also
called "The Kennedy Detail," which was narrated by Martin Sheen and
nominated last year for a News and Documentary Emmy in the long-form
historical programming category.
For its part, Stone's 1991's "JFK" was based on a book by New Orleans
District Attorney Jim Garrison who -- unsatisfied with the official
line -- launched his own investigation into the assassination.
Shooting for two months in town in summer 1991, "JFK" stands as one of
highest-profile films to shoot in New Orleans prior to the state's
2002 adoption of filmmaking tax incentives.
Upon its release in December 1991, the film earned more than $200
million in worldwide box office, as well as eight Oscar nominations,
including for best picture. (It won two, for film editing and
cinematography).
It also, however, generated no small amount of controversy, as Stone
was widely criticized for playing fast and loose with the facts.
The new film, producer Rich Ramos says, will be different.
"As a life-long student of the Kennedy administration and the events
of November 22, 1963, I could see immediately that this book provided
a clear picture and keen insight into the everyday workings of the
administration as well as that horrible day in Dallas," producer Rich
Ramos said today in a news release.
"The true story contained in 'The Kennedy Detail' needs to be brought
to theaters around the world so that history can be presented
accurately, once and for all."
Producers are targeting a 2013 release date - exactly 50 years after
the assassination -- although it's unclear when production will begin
or where it will take place. No cast has been announced.

Sounds like sour grapes to me, Marsh.
Face it, the tide is turning.
Most productions these days don't go along with the fanciful notions
of the sixties when people like Mark Lane could lie with impunity and
be believed.
Stone's JFK was the highwater mark for conspiracy. And when all the
documents were released they still found no smoking gun, LOL!

Not sure, but probably still in the works.
Reclaiming History should be entitled Reclaiming The WC Version which is
more apt.

related to some of Obama's SS agents hiring prostitutes. I don't recall
CNN or other stations (including CBC-TV that I regularly watch) making
reference to the 1963 SS scandal. Does anyone know if any reference was
made by the media to Nov. '63? - prwhitmey

Even after all these years the WC defenders refuse to accept the fact
that any redux of the WCR will be subject to the same scrutiny as the
original and will be deemed just as false by a discerning public.

I guess I'ill audition for the role of Mr. Hester as long as some
beautiful actress plays my wife Beatrice! (joking dear).
Easy role.
