Host: Bill O'Reilly

Overview

In this concise morning update, Bill O’Reilly shares recent personal and professional news, focusing on the success of his latest book, Confronting Evil, and its adaptation into a film. He discusses Hollywood’s employment climate for actors, provides insight into the challenges of film production and streaming, and assures listeners of exciting developments ahead.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Book Success and Film Adaptation

Bill O’Reilly announces that his new book, Confronting Evil, has reached “number one on the New York Times bestseller list” (01:09), expressing gratitude to listeners.
The film adaptation rights for Confronting Evil have been sold, adding to his previous track record of successful book-to-film projects.
- Notable past adaptations: Killing Lincoln, Killing Kennedy, Killing Jesus, and Killing Reagan.
- O’Reilly mentions his role as executive producer on all previous films, underscoring his involvement.

2. Securing a Narrator for the Movie

He recounts the effective use of Tom Hanks as the narrator for Killing Lincoln and signals that the team is seeking a similarly prominent narrator for Confronting Evil’s movie.
- “We're looking around for another big name narrator now in Hollywood and there are people available. I'm not going to mention the names because we're negotiating...” (01:32)
O’Reilly expresses confidence in landing a top-tier talent due to the current Hollywood job market, “because there's a lot of very skilled performers out of work in Hollywood, unemployed. They're not making the movies they used to or the TV shows.” (01:41)

Bill O'Reilly here, and I'm warming up. Standby for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition on this Monday, my book confronting Evil doing very well, thank you all very much. Number one on the New York Times bestseller list and we have sold it to the movies. So I've had four films produced. I was the executive producer on all of them, Killing Lincoln, Killing Kennedy, Killing Jesus and Killing Reagan. The first one, Killing Lincoln, we used Tom Hanks as a narrator and it worked very well. So we're looking around for another big name narrator now in Hollywood and there are people available. I'm not going to mention the names because we're negotiating with them and we'll get somebody very good, I'm confident. But there is a very big advantage to us as a production company because there's a lot of very skilled performers out of work in Hollywood, unemployed. They're not making the movies they used to or the TV shows. And the ones they do make, sometimes they're in the theater, sometimes they're not streaming. Hulu, Disney plus, who can keep track of all this? The last movie I went to in the theaters was about Iraq. Very good film. But I, since I was in Iraq, I wanted to see how the producers did it. So I went to the theater, played one week in the theater and then it's streaming. Anyway. We are going to land a big name to narrate Confronting Evil and I thought I should keep you posted. Back in a moment. Let's face it, the US Economy is under stress, national debt rising, trade war shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold.
