James Gandolfini will star as Ernest Hemingway in an untitled drama about the tempestuous romance between Hemingway and war correspondent Martha Gellhorn taking place between 1936 and 1945. Gellhorn’s competitive nature inspired the novelist to pen “For Whom the Bell Tolls.”
Gandolfini will make the film early next year, then return to “The Sopranos.” The final season of the HBO series begins shooting in April.
