The Alchemist - Movie being made
May 19th, 2008 Posted in Culture
One of my favourite books of all time - The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo - is being made into a movie.
The book is such a wonderful, mystical story that really moved me when I read it. It captures the tale of a Spanish shepherd boy who travels to Africa in search of his dream and meets the alchemist along the way.
I actually got to see a theatre production of the book last year which was really good and captured the story far more powerfully than I thought they’d be able to.
The film will star and be directed by Lawrence Fishburne. Filming is due to start in around a years time. (Find out more here.)
I’m fascinated to see what this will look like on the big screen!
