FIRST '21', NOW 'DEAL' AWAITS GAMBLING MOVIE LOVERS
18 April 2008
Coming to a theatre near you from April 25....
Several top international poker aces have cameo roles in
a new gambling movie set to follow closely on the heels
of the popular "21" currently on the global cinema
circuit (see previous InfoPowa report) Titled "Deal,"
the new film is all about poker and stars Bret Harrison,
Burt Reynolds and Shannon Elizabeth in the main
character roles.
Appearing in cameo roles as themselves are Antonio
Esfandiari; Joe Hachem; Phil Laak; Chris Moneymaker;
Greg Raymer and Vincent Van Patten.
Many poker fans are quick to point out that the 1998
movie "Rounders" is the one to beat when it comes to a
true depiction of the game and its action and appeal,
and pre-launch reviews for "Deal" have already
favourably compared the new film to its distinguished
predecessor.
Apparently the plot of "Deal" involves a former poker
pro coaching a cocky college student, which ultimately
draws him back into the professional poker arena and the
World Series of Poker, where he faces his protege across
the felt. This is not an altogether dissimilar storyline
to that in the 1986 classic "The Colour of Money" in
which Paul Newman and Tom Cruise featured, albeit in a
different game.
