Whodunit? AETH Entertainment dun it! The financier, producer, and distributor has acquired the film rights to Jon Linstrom’s debut novel Hollywood Hustle.

General Hospital News: Jon Lindstrom’s Debut Novel To Get Film-Treatment

Hollywood Hustle, a pulse-pounding thriller that made it onto the USA Today’s best-sellers list, concerns Winstone Greene, “a has-been film star,” who awakens one morning “to find his six-year-old granddaughter at his bedside—traumatized, unattended, and gripping onto a thumb drive. She comes bearing video proof that her mother, Win’s troubled adult daughter, has been kidnapped by a murderous gang demanding all his “movie money” for her safe return. But what they don’t know is…his movie money is long gone.

“Unable to go to the police for fear the kidnappers will make good on their promise to kill his daughter, Winston turns to two close friends—a legendary Hollywood stuntman and a disgraced former LAPD detective.”

Lindstrom, who will serve as executive producer on the project, said in a statement: “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. 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.”

As previously reported, Lindstrom is currently working on a sequel to Hollywood Hustle titled Purgatory.
