MUMBAI: National Geographic Channel has partnered with Scott Free Productions to produce a two-hour film based on "Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot," Bill O?Reilly?s latest book with co-author Martin Dugard.

The two-hour factual drama will stay true to the narrative storytelling devices used by O?Reilly in the book, which recounts the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, and how a sequence of gunshots in Dallas not only killed the president, but also propelled the nation into the Vietnam War and a cultural change.

National Geographic Channel has also worked with the production house for its movie on O?Reilly?s Killing Lincoln which is set to go on floors next month.

O?Reilly said, "The common parallels between Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy are astonishing, with both assassinations profoundly changing the nation during crucial moments in its history. It made perfect sense that my follow-up to Lincoln would naturally lead to Kennedy. While Kennedy?s assassination continues to garner many conspiracy theories, our story is based on facts, some that haven?t been publicly known. And with National Geographic Channel and Scott Free once again at the helm, I have the utmost trust and faith that they will bring the story of Kennedy and Camelot to life."

National Geographic Channel President Howard T. Owens "With the tremendous success of SEAL Team Six, our first feature film, and the growing excitement over this February?s premiere of Killing Lincoln, producing Bill O?Reilly?s follow-up was a no-brainer and will be yet another story that will resonate with our audience. As Scott Free Productions continue to be perfect partners - taking risks and breaking new ground in storytelling - we are claiming a stake in producing factual dramas, delivering entertainment with substance."

According to the company, production on the two-hour television event will begin this spring, combining rare historical insights and archives with dramatic and emotionally engaging storytelling in the style of the Scott brothers.

The special will premiere globally on the National Geographic Channel in 171 countries and 38 languages.
