From
Bluff Magazine:
The scribes behind the seminal poker film Rounders are teaming up with Leonardo DiCaprio for another poker flick, this time centering on online poker.
Brian Koppelman and David Levien, the two screenwriters whose late 90s movie gave the poker world characters like Mike McDermott, Worm, Joey Knish and Teddy KGB, will pen the script for an as-yet-untitled poker picture to be released by Paramount Pictures. DiCaprio, who is currently developing another film with the two writers, is attached to star in the film.
Details on the production are scant at the moment, but Variety says the plot will revolve around “the online casino industry in Costa Rica.” The Central American nation has been home to multiple online gambling businesses in the last decade.
Although
this is being discussed as a "poker movie," I can't help but think that this plot will foucs less on the game itself, and more on the business aspect of online gaming. But we shall see. I vote they bring back
John Malkovich as Teddy KGB (not that I
have a vote...just saying).
