Just saw this tweet from Mr Savage

Movie looks legit.

Looks fun. I'll watch it when it becomes available.

I think we watched different trailers maybe ? This looks decidedly not fun.

Do you recall the "true story" ?

Same trailer: language and boobs

Looks good. Full cast and crew:

Yeah but it was a little different. There was a recumbent bike involved.

Movie looks interesting to me.

Yeah, Brian wrote about extensively
(unless there was another bet I missed I could always be wrong)
https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/2...43/?highlight= I think this movie is loosely based on the story were in real life there was a bike still looks Fun Cash Women Bets Drugs Dr. Lockinstine, Jen What's not to Love . . .

2:15 "now he's sprinting" very funny. How did I make it to 2:15?

The trailer seems in no way, shape, or form similar to that story. I know that liberties are often taken when true stories come to film, and trailers can be misleading, but nothing about that seems to fit.

Van Patten claims it's about him:

"Recently, I wrote a film. I produced and starred in it. The film entitled Walk To Vegas is based on my true story, the rise and fall of my big poker game and the crazy bets we would make," noted Van Patten. "The film, which is a comedy, is centered around a bet of me walking from L.A. to Las Vegas in seven days. Overall, I'm very proud of the film, and we will be taking it to film festivals in the upcoming months, looking for the right distribution."

Funny, anyone ever hear about the Van Patten bet before as a real thing ? When did he do it ?

The trailer link says:

anyone else get this?

^^I opened the tweet and click the link from there and the trailer worked, weird^^

looks like a decent movie

So did Van Patten really walk to Vegas or not?

270 miles/7 days = 38 miles a day for a million dollars. I'm a 60 year old fat guy and would take that prop bet. Get rich or die trying.

Don't think I would go cross country. Stick to the asphalt, easier going, and travel at night.

Sleep /eat/drink/bang hookers/do coke during the hottest part of the day in my air conditioned support RV.

I wait with baited breath for anything from Vince Van Patten.

I don't see a single story ever written about this bet Dr. Lockinstin is in it so I'm in, do You have any evidence of the bet taking place

I'd like to know where to see this. Looks fun.

I don't either. No idea who "Dr. Lockinstin" is, or what you're in.

Sounds like a good question for Vince.

I sent a couple of tweets at Vince asking about Vegas showings and got zero response. I suspect his social media skills are about zero.

Jennifer Tilly is actress and she had first role deep in previous millenium. Another idol fallen.

She has legit poker credentials and was a way bigger star than any Van Patten.
