Drebbel, a movie
The fascinating life and era of Cornelis Drebbel from Alkmaar in The Netherlands are worth a film.
Drebbel, born in 1572 in The Netherlands, died in 1633 in London.
Drebbel was a great innovator. Working in dangerous times; the Netherlands was at war with Spain.
Politics and religion -in a rigid way- tried to halt progress and dictated mens' fate.
Drebbel worked in Alkmaar, Haarlem, London and Prague and was influenced and inspired by the great philosopher Francis Bacon.
He was a real 'European Renaissance man'.
Cornelis Drebbel undoubtedly merits a movie.
The Members of the Drebbel Foundation will be honoured to assist a serious scenario writer with the story.
