Atchity Entertainment and Ramos and Sparks Group announced today they plan to turn former Secret Service agent Gerald Blaine’s bestselling book The Kennedy Detail into a feature film. The plan is for a late 2013 release to coincide with the assassination of Kennedy in Dallas on November 22, 1963. Blaine’s 2010 book, written with Lisa McCubbin, tells the tale of JFK’s presidency from the perspective of the men who guarded his life while in office and on that day in Dallas. Discovery aired a Martin Sheen-narrated documentary based on The Kennedy Detail on December 2, 2010. The Emmy-nominated doc was executive produced by Ken Atchity and Chi-Li Wong. Blaine and McCubbin served as producers.

Is this movie going to detail (excuse the pun) how bad of a job they did? JFK closed the book on all other Kennedy movies. Nothing can come close to that. Please spare us this one.
Couldn’t agree more. JFK might be the best film of its decade.
Seriously? JFK was awful and filled with lies and opinions. Seems this movie might be the John F Kennedy movie yet.
Oliver Stone has probably stated 100x that his movie is a “counter myth” to the “Warren Commission myth.” The movie never presents any facts incorrectly, it merely speculates on the connections between them. And it does that brilliantly. As does Don Delillo’s book LIBRA. People who believe the Warren Commission are complete suckers.
I agree. I feel bad for Caroline. This movie is only being made because of the anniversary. Sad. This is blood money.
The book and the documentary were self serving, full of self pitty and excuses. Basically what it boils down to is “except for the President getting shot and killed we did everything right and it wasn’t our fault”.
Will the movie depict heavy drinking reportedly done by members of the detail at Jack Ruby’s bar “The Cellar” the night before the assassination?
Very good scrivener. Nice.
If done right, this could be a great movie. Clint Hill’s story is a very dramatic one.
The Secret Service was drinking heavily? Were they frequenting the company of prostitutes, too?
I’m a big fan of the theory that Castro, having survived several (very silly) plots on his life, ordered the hit on Kennedy in retaliation.
Or, in other words, round up the usual suspects.
Kennedy and a few choice cabinet members were the only ones standing in the way of that exact thing happening to Castro. Bay of Pigs was the “disaster” it was because Kennedy was trying to avoid the all out war blatantly assassinating Castro would have caused.
Bottom line is, and this is according to E.Howard Hunt himself, the CIA was the front runner in Kennedy’s death and cover up.
“Kennedy and a few choice cabinet members were the only ones standing in the way of that exact thing happening to Castro.”
correction: Both John and Robert Kennedy were the ones who ordered the hit(s).
You are half right. The other half is he mob. And two other things that are very possible is that the actual hit team was the one hired to kill Castro but then shut down by JFK. Part of Bobby’s remorse is that he was part of the group that hired the team for the Castro job. Another interesting theory is that Howard Hughes might have put up the money.
Hey, I’m just happy for Ken Atchity that he has a “go” gig.
Ken Atchity should be in prison for making this movie
The conspiracy theorists will have a field day with this one…Simple language, Oswald killed Kennedy, Jack Ruby was a dying attention seeker and Castro was more interested in selling his sugar. Still I cannot wait to see the movie here in Australia.
Jfk rfk both had so many enemies: the mob, the military, the rightwing…big oil…it goes on and on…as soon as jfk was dead..Bobby probably thought….what hell hath we wrought?
The plot was hatched ion the midst of the plot to get Castro and backfired when many participants realized JFK and RFK were the ones standiing in the way; at this point, Oliver Stone’s movie does have relevance as the powers that be realized, with LBJ at the top, they could get their way
Mary’s Mosaic. New release by Peter Janney. Got it completely right , son of a key figure in CIA. James Angleton planed many deaths .Outstanding research , the truth shall set you free .
You are all stupid. The most important question is who will portray Jack in the film? Save your theories, heard them all.
