I dont know how many of you know this but some years ago the Assistant Director of Sony and the President of Sony Interactive Entertainment was an Icelander named Ólafur Jóhann Ólafsson. Not only was he a big shot in the electronic industry, helped develop the CD and launch the first Playstation, but he was also a big shot in the Icelandic literary scene, having written seven books to date and a couple of plays, none of which Ive read. But people seem to like them and the books have been translated to several languages over the years.
One of his best selling books is A Journey Home has been in development for years, with the Merchant Ivory company behind it until Merchant died suddenly. Then it went in to the hands of Liv Ullman who wrote a new treatment and was slated to direct. Now it seems that Swedish Oscar winner Bille August is working on the project with Baltasar Kormakur producing.
August is of course world renowned for his films, with Pelle the Conqueror, House of the Spirits, Smillas Sense of Snow and even a few Young Indiana Jones episodes in his resume.
I dont know much about the story but the little Ive read about it online it seems to be about a woman living as a successful restaurateur in England finds out that she has only a year to live and decides to take the journey that she has postponed for over 20 years back home to Iceland.
August was in Iceland last week looking for pontential actors for the film so it seems that the ball is rolling.
