Joe Simpson - How Much?

Just how much would Tom Cruise have paid Joe Simpson if he'd ever got around to making that Hollywood version of Touching the Void? That's one of the interesting details revealed when Gordon Stainforth interviewed Simpson at the recent Sheffield Adventure Film Festival.

You can now see the first excerpt from the interview filmed by Alastair Lee on the Posing Productions web site with Simpson talking about the weird world of Hollywood film rights.

'You have your literary aspirations and whatever, but half a million? Sod them, take the money' - Joe Simpson
