DiCaprio Doing Online Poker Movie (with Dinosaurs?)
Think of all the awesome clicking scenes! Leonardo DiCaprio has plans to produce and star in a film about online casinos, seemingly taking several steps backwards from every movie that's ever been about actual, physical casinos. From Variety:
Paramount has put its chips down on an untitled pitch about the world of online casinos based in Costa Rica. Leonardo DiCaprio is attached to star and produce through his Appian Way shingle.The untitled project hails from scribes Brian Koppelman and David Levien ("Rounders," "The Girlfriend Experience," "Ocean's Thirteen").
Oh, it's Costa Rica-based casinos. Then, like every movie set in or around Cosa Rica, I'll just assume this is secretly a Jurassic Park spin-off, wherein cloned dinosaurs escape their pens, steal some credit cards and waste a ton of money online playing Texas Hold 'Em against Wayne Knight. And at the climax, when the T-Rex cries out as a large banner slowly drifts to the floor, the banner will read "Visit ExtremeTiltPokerGames.poker!!!", leaving the viewer something to think about where to play the most extreme poker online.
Sorry I just wrote such a good movie.
