I can already call it … 2012 will be the year of poker documentaries. The desire to tell true-life tales about the rise and fall of online poker in the USA should reach fever pitch as a classic story of crime and punishment plays out on Court TV. Ooh, that\’s just in theory, of course, as we don\’t yet know what\’s on the docket for 2012 in the Southern District of New York nor Court TV\’s programming schedule for next year. But it\’s almost enough to get my conspiracy bells ringing over WSOP-Europe\’s move to Cannes and/or the trend of using ALL CAPS in titles.
A lot of you already know about BOOM: The Incredible True Story of Online Poker, produced by Cardrunners icons Taylor Caby and Jay Rosenkrantz. Now, also coming soon, we have ALL IN: The Poker Movie, produced by the relatively big-time 4th Row Films.
Apparently both Boom and All In were all (or almost) ready to go right before Black Friday … which kinda caused a narrative breakdown in their endings.
I sat for both these films (as a talking head) … but have no idea whether or not my parts ended up on the cutting room floor. Kinda bummed I didn\’t end up in the teaser below for All In … but hey, I guess I can understand appearing lower in the credits than Howard Lederer and Annie Duke.
(Can only imagine how excited producers must have gotten over Bernie Madoff-level allegations against one of their \”stars\”!)
Release date (and New York premiere party?) scheduled for February 2012. I really can\’t wait to see how it all ends … on the big screen as well as in real life.
howard u fucking scumbag
Lederer is a piece of sht. The scumbags who have blatently ripped people off will pay, whether it be in this life or next.
