Stephen Gyllenhaal has signed as screenwriter and director of The Kennedy Detail, which focuses on the men of the
Secret Service protective detail assigned to President John F. Kennedy.
The project is targeted for a November 2013 release, coinciding with
the 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination. “This is the project of a
lifetime and I could not be more excited to be part of it,” said
Gyllenhaal. “Everyone knows how this story ends, but the true stories
told through the eyes of this extraordinary band of brothers, from JFK’s
election to that awful day in Dallas, have never been told. It is time
to share their perspective with the world”. Gyllenhaal has begun work
on the script with his research including interviews with many of the
surviving members of President Kennedy’s protective detail and their
family members. The film will be based on the New York Times
best-selling book The Kennedy Detail by former agent Gerald
Blaine and award-winning journalist Lisa McCubbin, with a foreword by
former agent Clint Hill. Hill has signed as a special advisor to the
project, and McCubbin and Hill will be associate producers. The Kennedy Detail
is being produced by Atchity Entertainment International (AEI) of Los
Angeles, Atchity and Chi-Li Wong producers, and Ramos & Sparks Group
of Tallahassee, Florida, with Richard Ramos and Rober
