One of the most important all-time mountaineers is writing a script for a film about the peak that changed his life. Reinhold Messner is going to make a movie about Nanga Parbat, the mountain in Pakistan where in 1970 he nearly died and he lost his brother Gunther. Leonardo Bizzaro (Repubblica.it) reports it in this article.

The arrival of Messner’s troupe in Nanga Parbat area was reported by a mountaineer on the website Mounteverest.net.

Messner climbed the highest and most difficult peaks in the world and later became a politician and a book writer and founded a museum. Will he be a good screenwriter too? A few years ago he came to Mantua during Festivaletteratura and I listened to him telling his adventures: he is a great storyteller.
