\tMaybe we’ll finally learn if the million-dollar top prize at the World Series of Poker has Mike McDermott’s name on it.<\/p>\n
\tAccording to Deadline Hollywood, The Weinstein Company co-chairmen Harvey and Bob Weinstein are once again working with Miramax. The new venture will begin quickly with sequels to Best Picture Oscar winner Shakespeare in Love and poker’s cult-classic Rounders.<\/p>\n
\tHarvey Weinstein told Deadline Hollywood the following:<\/p>\n
\t\u201cI\u2019ve discussed making Rounders 2 with Matt Damon and I would say that\u2019s going to be instantaneous…The guys [writers David Levien and Brian Koppelman] have a great idea, a way to make it more international where you start the card game in Paris, that\u2019s all I want to say. There might be a certain beautiful Parisian actress involved in it, and then we\u2019re off to the racetrack and Vegas with Matty and Edward Norton, and a new supervillain to replace John Malkovich.\u201d<\/p>\n
\tAccording to the report, Robert De Niro could potentially fill the role as the villain.<\/p>\n
\tIn September, Levien and Koppelman told PokerNews, "We do, however, have the story for Rounders II worked out, and all the actors and the director of the first film are ready to come do it. It’s a matter of the companies who control the rights getting behind it and allowing it to happen."<\/p>\n
\tIt looks like those companies have finally gotten behind the idea and are ready to roll.<\/p>\n
