Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has been tapped to lead FX’s pilot Gone Hollywood.
The forthcoming pilot hails from executive producer Scott Rudin. Ocean’s Eleven scribe Ted Griffin will direct from his own script.
Coster-Waldau will star opposite John Magaro (The Umbrella Academy), Lola Kirke (Mozart in the Jungle), Ben Schnetzer (Snowden), Jonathan Pryce (The Wife) and Judd Hirsch (The Meyerowitz Stories).
According to FX, the plot centers on a group of agents who leave an old-guard firm and found their own agency, which skyrockets to industry dominance, disrupting the business and changing movies forever. The fictional characters on the drama will mix with real-life entertainment figures and events.
Coster-Waldau is best known for his role as Jaime Lannister on the acclaimed HBO series Game of Thrones, which concluded its run earlier this year.
