The actor has a deal with Touchstone, an imprint
of Simon & Schuster, for a memoir about the beloved fairy tale.
The book is called "As You Wish: Tales from the Princess Bride."
Touchstone announced Friday that it has scheduled publication
for the fall of 2014.
Rob Reiner, who directed "The Princess Bride," is contributing a
foreword. The book, to be co-written by Joe Layden, also will
include interviews with Billy Crystal, Robin Wright and other
cast members from the 1987 production. Elwes and Wright starred
as the lovers Westley and Buttercup.
Elwes' other film credits include "Days of Thunder" and "Bram
Stoker's Dracula."
