EXCLUSIVE: Financier, producer and distributor AETH Entertainment has acquired film rights to the debut novel Hollywood Hustle from actor Jon Lindstrom.
Hollywood Hustle follows a fallen Hollywood star fighting for redemption when the cost of fame turns deadly. “From the opening pages, Hollywood Hustle grabs you and doesn’t let go — it’s a natural fit for an electrifying cinematic experience,” AETH CEO Eric Woods said.
Lindstrom will serve as an executive producer on the project. “So much of my career has been spent in and around the film industry, and I wanted Hollywood Hustle to capture the look and feel of that world behind the camera that most people don’t see,” said Lindstrom in a statement to Deadline. “I’ve had the chance to play so many great characters imagined by other writers.
