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.
