Cary Elwes To Write Princess Bride Memoir As You Wish — cinemablend.com

Elwes told THR that it was the cast reunion that took place last year at the New York Film Festival to mark The Princess Bride's 25th anniversary that inspired him to channel all his warm recollections into a book for megafans. He explained in a statement: All kidding aside, it is a disappointment to hear that neither Shawn or Patinkin are connected to the project, as their characters--the strategic genius Vizzini and the revenge-seeking Spaniard Inigo Montoya--delivered two of the film's most popular lines. Here's hoping they'll have a change of heart in time to be welcomed into the fold. And as frustrating as his whiny character is within the film, I'd be glad to hear Fred Savage share his thoughts on the movie and its making as well. Nonethless, As You Wish: Tales from the Princess Bride seems like it will be a wonderful addition to the book collections of those of us who grew up bellowing, "Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya! You killed my father. Prepare to die!"
