Noted author Ernest Hemingway will finally get his share of posthumous screen appearance, as the Gotham Group and producer Kevin Fortuna have optioned film rights to A.E. Hotchner’s best-selling biography Papa Hemingway: A Personal Memoir.

The New York Times best-seller gave readers an insight into the final 14 years of the Nobel Prize-winning author’s life, during which he was close friends with Hotchner, who is now 88.

Hotchner, to his credit, has written the 1962 film Hemingway’s Adventures of a Young Man based on the author’s stories. The upcoming film is being produced by Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Peter McHugh.
