According to Towles, the book was inspired by a business trip two years earlier as he mused about guests at Le Richemond hotel in Geneva, Switzerland. He had noticed the same people on a previous trip, and he began to wonder what it would be like to be trapped, for decades, inside a hotel. Towles wrote his thoughts down on Le Richemond hotel stationery, notes which he has kept to this day. See the video from this Wall Street Journal article. https://www.wsj.com/articles/amor-tow...

Kenneth Branagh will star in and produce "A Gentleman in Moscow". It looks like it is a mini-series though - not a movie. https://www.imdb.com/news/ni61992851
