X-Files star acquires film rights
Gillian Anderson, former star of the popular television show the X-Files, has acquired the film rights to Gellhorn: A Twentieth-Century Life by Caroline Moorehead.
The book is the biography of Martha Gellhorn (1908-1998) who was an American-born author and journalist who became one of the first female war correspondents.
She covered the major international conflicts of her lifetime, from the Spanish Civil War to Vietnam to the Cold War. Her second husband was Ernest Hemingway, but the pressures of working in a male-dominated field led to their bitter divorce.
According to Variety, Anderson aims to star in the film and it will focus mainly on the acrimonious marriage between Gellhorn and Hemingway.
