Kirk Douglas releasing e-book memoir

California Telegraph (ANI) Tuesday 15th May, 2012

Legendary Hollywood actor Kirk Douglas is getting in on the e-book craze, as he is set to come out with a digital version of his memoir in June.

Titled 'I Am Spartacus! Making a Film, Breaking the Blacklist,' the book tells about the Roman epic that came out in 1960 and helped break Hollywood's ban against suspected Communists, CBS News reported.

Douglas, 95, who starred in the 'Spartacus' movie and helped produce it, reveals that Dalton Trumbo wrote the screenplay after the blacklisted Trumbo had worked throughout the 1950s under assumed names.

The book includes a foreword by George Clooney.

It is being released by Open Road Integrated Media, a digital publisher that announced the deal Monday.

An audio edition will be narrated by Douglas' actor-son Michael Douglas. (ANI)

    Nothing will ever completely replace playing the game I love, however I feel like I'm starting a new adventure and I'm genuinely excited about what lies ahead. I'm fortunate to have been given many opportunities throughout my career and now I feel it's my time to give back.
