Hollywood stars Hugh Jackman and Laura Dern are all set to star in the upcoming movie 'The Son', which will be writer-director Florian Zeller's follow-up to the BAFTA-winning and Academy award-nominated 'The Father'. According to Variety, the film will be adapted from Zeller's acclaimed stage play by Zeller and Christopher Hampton, who is Oscar-nominated for adapting 'The Father' with Zeller, and has won an Oscar for 'Dangerous Liaisons'.

Oscar-winners Iain Canning and Emile Sherman, and Joanna Laurie of See-Saw Films, will produce the movie with Christophe Spadone alongside Zeller. Film4 will be co-financing the production.
