Alchemist film brewing

Much-loved allegory The Alchemist is well on its way to becoming a film. Laurence Fishburne has finished writing the script and he'll produce the film with the same producer who did the Lord of the Rings film trilogy. So if that's any indication of the end result, Paulo Coelho's tale of a young Spaniard's quest could be an adventure of epic proportions.
