New Regency will bring to the screen the true story of six Tongan teenagers who survived for 15 months on a remote Pacific island in the 1960s
The Hollywood studio behind 12 Years a Slave and The Revenant has won the battle for film rights to the story of the six Tongan teenagers stranded for months on an uninhabited island in the mid-1960s, dubbed as the “real-life Lord of the Flies”.
Rutger Bregman, the historian whose immensely popular article was published by the Guardian on 9 May and triggered the rights scramble, confirmed that New Regency had won the battle, after he, the four survivors still living, and Australian sailor Peter Warner who rescued them, took a collaborative decision to accept the studio’s offer.

Exclusive: Film and TV producers are chasing hard to win screen rights to the remarkable true story of a group of boys who survived for more than a year on a deserted Pacific island.
Dubbed ‘the real Lord Of The Flies‘, the story has exploded since being published by the Guardian last week in their preview of historian and author Rutger Bregman’s uplifting book Humankind, which is published in the UK today.
The narrative follows how in 1965 six friends, teenagers bored with their life at a boarding school on the Pacific island of Tonga, stole a fishing boat and set off on an adventure. A massive storm destroyed their vessel and after eight days drifting on the open waters, they washed up on a remote, uninhabited island. Marooned there, the boys overcame incredible adversity, largely through team work, ingenuity and resolve. Unlike William Golding’s classic tale of savagery,...

Income inequality isn’t typically a big issue at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. But it was this year, partly because Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-ny) proposed a 70 percent marginal tax rate on income over $10 million shortly before the conference began last month. Though the millionaires and billionaires in attendance didn’t take so kindly to the idea, a few historians made a point of explaining that high marginal tax rates were part of what made America so prosperous following World War II. “It feels like I’m at...

Historian Rutger Bregman has released cellphone footage of an unaired interview he did with Fox News host Tucker Carlson and an email that he received from Carlson afterward that called him “an a–hole.”
Bregman, an author of several books on history, economics, and philosophy, claimed Carlson invited him on his show “Tucker Carlson Tonight” to discuss his recent comments on billionaires at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, being too greedy and not paying enough taxes.
However, the interview got heated when Bregman called Carlson a “millionaire funded by billionaires” and saying “You’re not part of the solution, Mr. Carlson. You’re part of the problem.” Bregman released footage of the interview to NowThis News, which has been viewed more than 800,000 times on Twitter.

A Dutch historian accused Tucker Carlson on Tuesday of swearing at him during a recorded interview that Fox News Channel is now refusing to air.
The conversation between Carlson and Rutger Bregman went swiftly downhill after Bregman said the primetime host was “a millionaire funded by billionaires,” which then supposedly caused Carlson to call him a “f–ing moron.”
“So @TuckerCarlson just called me a ‘f—ing moron’ during a prerecord for his show, for pointing out that he’s a millionaire funded by billionaires. Let’s see if they’ll air it,” Bregman said in a tweet.

“Good morning @TuckerCarlson, why didn’t you air the interview with me last night? Couldn’t handle the criticism? I think you should just show it. And try to resist the temptation to edit,” he added in a follow-up the next day.
