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.
