More Vegas films

More Vegas films are in the cards

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It’s in the cards

Like TV’s “CSI” and “Las Vegas,” Hollywood is betting on a winning streak in Sin City. After “Smokin’ Aces” comes …

•“Lucky You” (March 16). Eric Bana plays a troubled professional poker player who learns a thing or two from a struggling singer (Drew Barrymore). Real Vegas poker stars populate the film’s big tournament. Curtis Hanson (“L.A. Confidential”) directs.

•“Ocean’s Thirteen” (June 8). Director Steven Soderbergh brings George Clooney and the gang back to Las Vegas for one last heist. Former enemy Terry Benedict (“Smokin’ Aces’ ” Andy Garcia) asks for help bringing down a tough guy casino owner, played by tough guy Al Pacino.

•“21” (in production). It’s based on the book Bringing Down the House , the true story of MIT students who learned how to count cards and make millions playing blackjack in Vegas. Columbus Short (“Stomp the Yard”) says he’s in negotiations to star with Kevin Spacey. Robert Luketic (“Legally Blonde”) is directing.

Has anyone heard any word on when "21" is supposed to come out? I've been waiting a long time for that movie to appear.

Me too! It should be one great movie especially for us serious player types.
If they can do justice to the book the movie should be fantastic. I heard that starting this month (February) they're supposed to be doing some kind of "outdoor shots" of M.I.T. and The Strip.

Anyone know when they expect the movie will be released?

I would love to just be an extra in that movie. I think it would be awesome if they had some original people as backgroud characters, like they've done in other movies. It would add so much to the movie.

As Always your the man Sonny!

Towards the bottom they said they need 150 extras for misc. roles. I submitted my photo and said I'd volunteer (no pay).

We'll see how it goes. How awesome would that be!!!

o.k.,scene: Semyon Dukach in side the Mirage Casino playing the part of a blackjack dealer with Johnny Chang as the pit critter!
WHOA!

That would be a sweet scene rogue. Only thing is, some of them may not have yet been exposed to casinos, I don't know how willing they would be to have their face shown in front of thousands, many of which may be small indian casino owners who have not yet seen them.

We've had this discussion before but I still think this movie "21" is bad news for us counters. There is going to be a flood of new counters because of this movie and while most of them will fail, I'm concerned the casinos will get extra paranoid if this movie hits it big. Pen will suck even worse and there will probably be more lousy rules put in place like H17 or more 6:5 blackjack coming out!
