Updated casting has been announced for the film Affluenza, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Kevin Asch will direct the project, which will have a script by Antonio Macia.

The movie is a modern-day revision to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, centering on Todd Goodman (to be played by Ben Rosenfeld), a young man of means who finds himself having to confront harsher realities after a turn of events during the financial crisis of 2008.

The cast will also include such stage veterans as Danny Burstein, Grant Gustin, Steve Guttenberg, Adriane Lenox, Samantha Mathis, and John Rothenberg.
