Sorry the news hasn't been updated in a while, guys. I forget because I also do magazine work and write for two other sites and this is the one I don't get paid for (it's 'cos I love you so much).

Giving the great results of the last 3 poker movies released (Deal, the Grand, Lucky You), this may stay in pre-production forever.

Anyone actually rate nick Cage as an actor, he is so wooden, his facial expression and voice remain the same in every film he does. I really can't understand why he keeps getting these big parts.

Yeah, he pretty much sucks at everything he does.
