A new film about mountain climber George Mallory and his obsession with conquering Everest, The Wildest Dream, has landed a US distributor in the shape of National Geographic Entertainment - so let's hope it hits these shores too.
Mallory was of course the man who said, when asked why he wanted to climb Everest, "Because it's there". He was obsessed with being the first to conquer the peak, and died there in 1924 along with his climbing partner.
The film's based on letters from the explorer to his wife Ruth, photos, film footage from 1924 and from the 1999 expedition that found his body on the peak. Liam Neeson narrates the film, Ralph Fiennes voices Mallory, the late Natasha Richardson Ruth, Hugh Dancy his fellow climber and Alan Rickman the last person to see the pair alive.
Anthony Geffen directed the film, which is dedicated to Richardson.
