Director Shekhar Kapur (”Elizabeth”, “Elizabeth: The Golden Age”) has signed on direct a biopic of English explorer George Mallory says Variety. Set in post-World War I England, the story follows Mallory's attempts to scale Mount Everest and how that obsession took a toll on his marriage.
Mallory and his climbing partner disappeared in 1924 just 800ft. from the summit.
Kevin Townsend, Matthew Faulk and Mark Skeet wrote the script.
Townsend and Jr. Julia Roberts will produce.
