“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. It’s going to be a thrill to see the characters I created come to life on the screen.”
The deal was brokered by Gilbertson Entertainment and Independent Artist Group, who represent Lindstrom, along with Liza Royce Associates. AETH is represented by Gersh.
Lindstrom is a four-time Daytime Emmy nominee for his work on General Hospital and As the World Turns. He played twin brothers Dr. Kevin Collins and Ryan Chamberlain on ABC’s General Hospital. He recently joined the cast of the CBS/Paramount+ soap Beyond the Gates. He also starred on Bosch and True Detective.
