It would be very cool to See and older rourke play and older Chinasky in the production of Hollywood.

Maybe get Colin Quinn to play the young Rourke character. So many possiblilties.

Or get Sean Penn to Play the Older Chinasky, and have Dennis Hopper direct it.

The reason it would not be a good idea to have Rourke play him in Hollywood was because Hollywood was a response to that movie, and part of it was Bukowski not liking the way Rourke played him. It would be ironic though.
