Dont know if there already is a thread about this, and I cant find any trailer to it. But it is on imdb, so i guess it is true. Not much infomation about it.

Yawy!

I don't want to see the ending

No kidding, like Shia Lebeouf needs more work.

still in development and without a home so it could take some time - in development stats get fattened up for AFM and the jan fest circuit as production companies will often pitch everything they have ever thought of doing. FWIW hope it gets up.

Wow. This could be horrible for various reasons.

maybe dakota fanning will be cast

The main one being

Will it feature child molestation or will they gloss over that part?

The thought of someone making an Amarillo Slim movie makes me sick.

There may have been something when this was originally mentioned, in 2005 or 2006.

hes an awful actor...amarillo slim is an awful person...i cannot believe theyd glorify a child molester nd make a movie about him.

nicholas cage is a way more talented person and contributed much more to this world than amarillo slim.

Slim also admitted to fixing sports matches to hustle/fleece other gamblers... he was a plain crook in my view

details on teh child molestation stuff ppl keep mentioning?

pervert

Cage was awesome in Leaving Las Vegas. His movie selection since has sucked. Maybe this part might work. Has to be better than The Fast and the Furious.

This, I guess.

he wasnt in fast and the furious moran, he was in gone in 60 seconds, and the guy is in a ton of ****ing awesome movies

face off
con air
lord of war
gone in 60
matchstick men
snake eyes
windtalkers
ettcccccccccccc

Con air is such a awesome movie

Try this

FWIW, this has been gone over ad nauseum on these forums since it happened, but imo if not for this happening, Slim would be the Godfather of Poker, not Doyle. Even with Slim getting little to no coverage anymore, I bet if you asked 100 random people on the street to name a famous poker player, his name FAR outstrips the competition. He was on The Tonight Show like 8 times, for chrissakes. What he screwed himself out of in terms of endorsements, fame, and money dwarfs anything most anyone else has received since the boom started.

Either way, I think his plea bargain excuse is a joke, his version is he gave his grand-niece or something a pat on the butt as she was walking away from hugging him or something, and his family members tried to blackmail him. He says he plead to avoid the strong chance of jail time, given that Texas is so gung-ho about crime, (even for a favorite son in a flimsy-at-best case in his opinion?). Either way, if I get unjustly accused of molesting a family member, I would leave no stone unturned in defending myself, and don't fool yourself into thinking Slim didn't know the stakes or what may have been around the corner in the poker landscape.

Also, FWIW, the book is a good read, and I think Cage, while an excellent actor, would be severely miscast.

fast and furious and gone in 60 might as well be the same crappy movie and all these other movies suck.

Leaving Las Vegas was a great movie imo

Cage makes millions attaching himself to movies he doesn't do. Read an interview with Darren Aronofsky regarding The Wrestler, which originally had a 19m budget with Cage as the lead then a 6m with Rourke. Darren goes with Mickey, Nic gets part of the 13m difference. On IMDB, the movies he's in preproduction on just disappear as when movies are released, in the trivia sections will be "originally casted with Nic Cage". Say what you want about his acting, but the guy gets paid not to show up to work.

You left out far and away his best one. Hopefully others can elaborate.

Raising Arizona, ldo

Valley Girl?


BTW, far and away was Tom Cruise.
