Turteltaub to Direct Greenpeace Film
Source: Variety
Variety reports that Jon Turteltaub is on board to direct a Greenpeace film.
Set primarily in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the story will be told through the eyes of the controversial organization's charismatic founding members, Bob Hunter and Rex Weyler. The duo led an eccentric group of pacifists, ecologists, musicians, teachers, sailors, and scientists as they attempted -- often successfully -- to disrupt American and French nuclear bomb tests, Japanese and Russian whaling ships and Norwegian infant harp seal hunters. In the process, they inadvertently started a movement that is still going strong nearly four decades later.
Hunter's Warriors of the Rainbow: A Chronicle of the Greenpeace Movement and Weyler's Greenpeace: How a Group of Ecologists, Journalists, and Visionaries Changed the World will be the main inspiration behind the script, which is rumored to be written by Aaron Sorkin.

Hmmm....This could be interesting. I mean it's got David vs. Goliath, high adventure on the high seas, and nerdy kids vs the jocks. All it really needs is a cool rock and roll sound track added in.
Now, I admit the politics are not for everyone. But nobody's forcing us to see it.
