Stanley Tucci to read audio for Paolo Coelho stories

NEW YORK (AP) — Oscar-nominated actor Stanley Tucci is leading an audio production of Paulo Coelho stories.

The audio producer and seller Audible Inc. told The Associated Press on Friday that Tucci will be joined by Toby Jones for “The Man On the Mountaintop,” vignettes and words of wisdom that are a “contemporary equivalent” to Coelho’s million selling novel “The Alchemist.”

The audio-only release is based on an original script by Coelho, the Brazilian author whose other books include “Aleph,” ”Adultery” and “The Spy.”

Tucci has appeared in “The Hunger Games,” ”The Devil Wears Prada” and numerous other films. He received an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor for “The Lovely Bones.”
