Hemingway On Hemingway

Mariel Hemingway has won both film and television rights to her late grandfather author Ernest Hemingway's memoir A Moveable Feast says Variety.



Hemingway and John Goldstone are teaming to produce a big screen adaptation which they've already begun shopping around.

Published posthumously to critical acclaim in 1964, the story covers the author's years as a young man in the 1920s living in Paris.

Mariel's grandmother, Ernest's first wife Elizabeth Hadley Richardson, is a key character in the memoir with their marital breakup described in vivid detail..

"It's fascinating to observe my grandfather as a young man, coming of age, before he was known to be what he eventually became, one of the great writers of the 20th century," Mariel said.
