On the Set of Killing Lincoln

[Laurie Verge]

It is my understanding from Erik that O'Reilly sold his rights to some company, which in turn sold the rights to Nat Geo with the proviso that they could rewrite O'Reilly's history if they wanted to. I doubt that Mr. O'Reilly even cares what the final production looks like - he's made his money off of it and moved on.

This time last year, I was seriously debating asking Mr. O'Reilly to speak at the March 2012 conference. We decided that his fame would be a distraction at the conference and might draw people who would come to argue with him or praise him for his modern political views.

I am very happy to announce, however, that Erik Jendresen will be doing a presentation on this film at the March 2013 conference banquet. At past events, we have had James Solomon, screenwriter for The Conspirator, speak on bringing history to film and also Tom Jennings, producer of the TV documentary, The Hunt for John Wilkes Booth, doing something similar. They were both great hits. I know that Erik will be one also.
