Movie on Paulo Coelho's 'Alchemist' to go on floor

The movie adaptation of Brazilian author Paulo Coelho's bestseller 'The Alchemist' is all set to go on floors later this year. Coelho was recently at Cannes to talk to producer Harvey Weinstein about the long-standing adaptation of his first book for which shooting is expected to start by this year's end.

The movie adaptation will reportedly be a USD 60 million project, Variety magazine online reported.
