Mena Suvari will star with Jack Huston, Caterina Murino and Richard E. Grant in The Garden of Eden, a John Irvin-directed adaptation of an Ernest Hemingway novel, says Variety.
Hemingway died before finishing the novel, which was published in 1986.
The story is set in the pre-Depression jazz age. A wartime pilot-turned-writer (Huston) and his new wife (Suvari) embark on an extended honeymoon in Europe; she becomes restless and tests her husband’s devotion in unusual ways. One is to bring a sultry Italian girl (Murino) into their bedroom.
The film is shooting in Spain. Tim Lewiston wrote the script.
