"Lucky You" starts October 27th

We have a date: October 27th will be the start of the long awaited poker movie "Lucky You" starrring Eric Bana and Drew Barrymore. Guest appareances of several poker celebrities like: Doyle Brunson, Jennifer Harmann, Barry Greenstein, Sam Farah and many more. The story is built around a fictional "World Series of Poker" tournament at the Horseshoe in Las Vegas.

I really hope it won't start much later in Germany. That will be fun and may add some more interest to the public in the game of poker.

And if you won't wait that long - here's a first trailer:

And we have more poker in the movies this fall: The new James Bond "Casino Royale" premiers November 17th. As you may heard the Baccarat game form Ian Flemmings original plot was replaced by - you guessed it - a game of high limit poker. And despite the fact that a blond James Bond is kind of weired and some critisiscm that Daniel Craig received early on ... the trailer doesn't look bad.
