Sony Pictures is moving forward with its big screen adaptation of Jeffrey Archer’s nonfiction book “Paths of Glory”, the story of George Mallory’s three attempts to climb Mount Everest, the last of which led to his disappearance on the mountain in 1924 at the age of 37.

According to Deadline, actor Tom Hardy has signed aboard to play the lead role in the Doug Liman-directed film.

Working from a script by Sheldon Turner, the story will follow the book’s basic storyline, which is officially described as follows:

This is the story of a man who loved two women, and one of them killed him.

Some people have dreams that are so outrageous that if they were to achieve them, their place in history would be guaranteed. Francis Drake, Robert Scott, Percy Fawcett, Charles Lindbergh, Amy Johnson, Sir Edmund Hillary and Neil Armstrong are among such individuals.

He is great and one of the busiest actors these days so it’s quite logical we’re here to share something about his possible new project.

Of course, we’re talking about Tom Hardy who is in early talks to star in Doug Liman‘s Everest.

Based on Jeffrey Archer’s book Paths of Glory, Everest has been adapted by Sheldon Turner (Up In The Air).

Hardy will play George Mallory, the climber who tried three times in the 1920s to become the first man to scale the world’s highest mountain.

The movie is an adaptation of the book Paths Of Glory, Everest written by Jeffrey Archer, it was adapted by Sheldon Turner (Up In The Air). Liman is set to start shooting the movie after he's finished directing All You Need is Kill with Tom Cruise. Hardy is one hell of a talented actor, and he was awesome in Lawless! Everest sounds like a great project for him to take on, one where he'll once again be able to show off his acting skills.

If he doesn't get nominated for a Best Actor award for Lawless, maybe Everest...
