If Edward Norton and his character Worm make a cameo I'll see this on the big screen. If not I'll wait for DVD.

Re: Runner, Runner - New film from the writers of Rounders

LMFAO... check out this little write-up from imdb!!! Can't wait to watch the horse racing.

"Brad Furman – who last year made the excellent Lincoln Lawyer – is set to direct the film, which is being kept largely under wraps aside from the idea of it being set in the illegal world of ‘net based poker and other games (the title seems to indicate horse racing might be involved.)"

Re: Runner, Runner - New film from the writers of Rounders

Call me a hater but when did hollywood decide that JT was a leadig man? He's not. I mean the guy is a ****ty actor, though we all know that, hell everyone including JT knows, so what gives?I feel like all the white knights in this thread are leveling hard. Really? Some of you enjoy JT movies?

Re: Runner, Runner - New film from the writers of Rounders

of course he is a ****ty actor, but who cares he's mainstream so its probably good for poker. Hollywood produces trash like 99% of the time so business as usual

Haha JT doesn't have to be a good actor or even a good leading man. His a big name, period. There's plenty o fuber-rich actors that can't act. A rep/name > acting ability.

I get the sinking feeling that this will be terrible.
