Some of us dread dying in a car crash and being caught with dirty underwear, or a diary full of embarrassing entires. But the famed authors among us should worry about dying with unfinished manuscripts, because apparently, they may get turned into movies some day-- whether you wanted them published or not.
Albert Camus, the Nobel prize-winning author of novels like The Stranger, died in a car crash in 1960, and left the manuscript The First Man in a briefcase. Now The First Man will become a movie, according to Variety, written and directed by Italian director Gianni Amelio. Amelio's previous film The Way We Laughed won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival in 1998; The First Man will be his French-language debut.
Starring in the film will be French actors Jacques Gamblin, Denis Podalydes, and Claudia Cardinale. The story follows a man, widely considered to be Camus' alter-ego, who returns to his native Algeria at age 40 and relives his childhood.
