The Grand - Neuer Pokerfilm mit deutschem Filmgenie Werner Herzog!
Im März kommt in den USA ein neuer Semidokumentarischer Pokerfilm heraus. Ich bin mal gespannt, die Wertung bei IMDB war jedenfalls gut.
Aus der offiziellen Website: The Grand is in the tradition of improvisational comedies like Best In Show and This Is Spinal Tap.
The story is set in the world of professional poker and follows six
players who reach the final table of the world’s second most famous
high stakes tournament, the Grand Championship of Poker. The Grand
was improvised from a detailed treatment co–written by Zak Penn and
Matt Bierman who also served as Executive Producer. A Tribeca Film
Festival favorite, the film boasts a stellar, international comedic
cast and was featured June 8 at the Cinevegas film festival in Las
Vegas.
An eclectic cast brings together many of
today’s top comedic actors; Woody Harrelson, David Cross, Dennis
Farina, Cheryl Hines, Richard Kind and Chris Parnell. The film also
stars award–winning comedian Ray Romano, the legendary German film
director Werner Herzog and sitcom vet Gabe “Welcome Back Kotter” Kaplan.
The Grand
was produced by Zak Penn and Gary Marcus as well as Eleven Eleven
Films’ Bobby Schwartz and Ross Dinerstein and IMG’s Bret Saxon and Jeff
Bowler. It will be distributed theatrically by Anchor Bay Entertainment
in March 2008.
