Two Jacks is a 2012 comedy-drama film written and directed by Bernard Rose starring Sienna Miller and Danny Huston.
It is an adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's 1856 short story "Two Hussars"[1] and is Rose's fifth Tolstoy adaptation, following Anna Karenina (1997), Ivans XTC (2002), The Kreutzer Sonata (2008) and Boxing Day (2012).
[2] In 1992, Jack (Danny Huston), a legendary filmmaker, returns to Hollywood after a long absence.
His return to Tinseltown is heralded by a series of adventures, as he drinks freely, seduces a beautiful woman named Diana (Miller), quarrels with studio executives and finally procures funds for his new project by winning a poker game.
Twenty years on, the filmmaker's son (Jack Huston) arrives in Hollywood looking to make his directorial debut amid questions of whether he has inherited his father's gift.
