Story by Jack Foley
THE origins and development of the Greenpeace movement is to be turned into a new movie.
Jon Turteltaub is to direct the film, according to Variety, which will be set primarily in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s through the eyes of founding members Bob Hunter and Rex Weyler.
The screenplay is based on two novels: Weyler’s own Greenpeace: How a Group of Ecologists, Journalists, and Visionaries Changed the World and Hunter’s Warriors of the Rainbow: A Chronicle of the Greenpeace Movement.
Turteltaub has previously directed the National Treasure movies starring Nicolas Cage.
