Ernest Hemingway Biopic Coming

On February 4th, 2009

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.
