Halcyon to shed light on Bilderberg group
Published Tuesday, Jun 2 2009, 15:34 BST | By Simon Reynolds
Terminator Salvation producers Halcyon have nabbed the movie rights to Daniel Estulin's book The True Story Of The Bilderberg Group.
The firm's Victor Kubicek and Derek Anderson will oversee the adaptation, which explores the invitation-only group of some of the world's most powerful people who meet once a year to discuss global issues such as politics and business.
Henry Kissinger, Bill Clinton and Tony Blair have all attended the Bilderberg conference in the past. The last gathering was held in May in Athens.
Estulin's book was amassed from 14 years of research, all of which will be available to Halcyon as part of the movie deal.
No writer or director has been signed for the project, which is expected to be a fictionalised account of the Bilderberg group's inner workings as opposed to a docu-drama.
