While speaking to this paper, author Jeffrey Archer told us that his last novel, Paths Of Gloryu00a0-- a partly fictionalised account of the life of mountaineer George Mallory has found studio backing. 
"Columbia (Tristar) picked up the film's adaptation rights nine months ago", he informs us. Roughly a year ago, in a previous interview to the paper (https://goo.gl/szk1), the novelist had mentioned how he was scouring for producers withu00a0 deep pockets to get the film onto the big screen. His search has apparently ended.
A Canada-based company has picked up the rights to the screenplay of an earlier tome, False Impressions, a thriller published in 2006. "They have paid me a lot of money," he tells HiTLIST, adding tersely, "But will it ever happen (get made into a movie)? I don't know."
Archer feels his other books -- six in allu00a0-- may be stuck in a limbo called 'pre-production'. He muses, "It's something of a lottery. They pay the money to buy the rights. I don't know where they get the money for the rights ufffd if they're not gonna make the damn movie!"
