Variety reports the movie is based on Dan Millman's autobiography, of the same name and follows Millman in his junior year at the University of California, while training to become a world-champion gymnast, Millman stumbled on a 94-year-old mentor nicknamed Socrates, a powerful, unpredictable, and elusive character.
He taught a way to maximize performance using a unique blend of Eastern philosophy and Western fitness to cultivate the true essence of a champion - the "way of the peaceful warrior." Millman's first-person account of his odyssey into realms of light, darkness, mind, body, and spirit has since become an international bestseller about the universal quest for happiness.
The novel was adapted by Kevin Bernhardt, Bob Dolman and Salva.
Mark Amin, Robin Schorr and Cami Winikoff will produce the film with David Welch.
Production is set to start in March in Los Angeles.

The Way of the Peaceful Warrior has been one of my most loved books. I read it when it first came out many years ago, during a time when I found myself searching for life meaning, individual purpose, and spirituality as my own truth. The book helped me in so many ways; I am so glad that it is finally coming out as a movie. I can't wait to see it to re-experience its many positive gifts.

I was given this book by a dear friend of mine who enjoyed it very much and knew that I would as well. It's a wonderful book... Very thought provoking. I've probably read it a hundred times over. Each time I put it down I feel more positive and open-minded. I'm extremely pleased to hear it's becoming a movie and anxious to see how it turns out. :)
