Luke Flynn will play his grandfather Errol in "In Like Flynn," a film that tells the story of his pre-Hollywood adventures on the high seas reports Variety.
Scripted by Flynn, Corey Large and Kyle Kramer from Flynn's own memoir "Beam Ends," the $12 million film will start production next year in Australia.
Flynn owned the rights to his grandfather's book, which portrayed Aussie actor Flynn as a swashbuckling daredevil long before he became a film star. That included opium smuggling, womanizing, bar brawling and gold mining, all in the name of getting to Hollywood.
Thanks to 'Brian'
