Greenpeace: The Film

A film about the birth of environmental group Greenpeace, in the 1970's, will start shooting soon.

Two books written by the charity founders will be adapted into a screenplay: «Greenpeace: How a Group of Ecologists, Journalists and Visionaries Changed the World» by Rex Weyler, and «Warriors of the Rainbow: A Chronicle of the Greenpeace Movement» by Bob Hunter.

The director in charge of translating the project to the screen is none other than Jon Turteltaub, which may not be for the best: he is responsible for «The Kid» with Bruce Willis, «Instinct» with Anthony Hopkins, «Phenomenon» with John Travolta, as well as «National Treasure» and its sequel «National Treasure 2: The Book of Secrets» with Nicolas Cage, amongst other gems.
