While The Last Station, about Tostoy's final days, proved a success, it's not that often his work gets adapted for the big screen. However now writer/director Bernard Rose is planning to update The Two Hussars and create a version set in modern day Hollywood.
The indie drama, which will be called Two Jacks, has been firming up its cast, with Variety reporting that Sienna Miller and Danny Huston will topline the drama, while Jacqueline Bisset, Billy Zane, Izabella Miko and Lydia Hearst will also star. The film will be about two generations of a family, staring out in 1992 when a legendary filmmaker returns to Hollywood following a lengthy absence. He gets into a series of wild adventures, seducing a beautiful woman and fighting with studio execs, while trying to get the money he needs to finance his film by winning a poker game.
The film also takes in another story set 20 years later, when the filmmaker's son (Huston) heads to Tinsel Town to make his directorial debut, amidst curiousity over whether he's inherited his father 's gift.
The movie is currently shooting in LA.
