Posted on 29. Apr, 2009 by admin.
Do you still remember the monumental performance of Matt Damon and Edward Norton in the movie “Rounders”? The writers behind this highly revered poker movie are again making another film starring the popular actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
The yet-untitled movie is about the online casinos based in Costa Rica. David Levien and Brian Koppelman, both involved in the success of the Rounders movie, wrote the story used within the film. The film was reported to have mainly gathered the interest of blockbuster movie producers Paramount, and has been rising to fame as another great movie to expect on the theaters.
DiCaprio has already signed the contract to get the lead role of the poker movie project. The unstoppable success of the international film icon would bring excellent progress to the movie’s schedule. The film is said to be advancing from the pre-production stage to the actual production at a rapid rate.
The writers behind this upcoming poker movie are also responsible for some notable films such as Steven Soderbergh’s The Girlfriend Experiences as well as the successful Las Vegas movie Ocean’s Thirteen. The gunfire and heist scenes expected to be present all throughout the movie will definitely delight poker enthusiasts. This would definitely be another great success in the poker-based films hitting the movie theaters.
However, the release date of this upcoming poker movie was still unannounced by the filmmakers. DiCaprio will make another movie appearance in Shutter Island, a film by popular director Martin Scorsese.
