Hollywood is getting ready to delight poker fans with a new movie. Famous actors such as Bruce Willis, Rebecca Hall and Justin Timberlake will take part in the filming of a film about poker in the late 90s. The film will be based on the events described in the 2010 novel. "Lay the Favorite: A Memoir of Gambling" from writer Beta Raimer.
The working title of the film is "Lay the Favorite, Take the Dog"... The film will be directed by Stephen Frears, and adaptation will work D. V. De Vincentis.
And here is a short description of the plot:
At the age of 24, the girl moved to Las Vegas, where she found a job with the good-natured fat man Dink Haimowitz, who contains illegal bookmaker's office... Milyaga Dink received a good education, but distinguished himself in his native New York by manipulating bets, which is why he fled to the gambling capital of the United States. Heimowitz continued to run the gambling business with the help of his fellow bookmaker Bernard Rose, who lives on Long Island. As mathematical geniuses, these two made their fortune on rates and naive clients, while Beth herself learned many tricks from them.
It is worth noting that Willis has been approved for the role of Heimowitz. Rebecca Hall will most likely play Beth herself, and Timberlake will play bookie Rose.
