Re: Stu Ungar Movie
Longtime lurker, rare poster. I am a member of the yahoo group for the movie however, and maybe a week ago the director posted some very good news for poker fans who want to see this movie.
The name was changed, as others have said, and it was picked up by New Line Cinema. Here is a copy of the post from the director A.W. Vidmer:

Hi, folks.
Okay, this is what's happening, and you're hearing it first -- loyal Stuey/High
Roller fans.
We've signed with New Line Cinemas to release the film. HOW the film gets
released, as
well as WHEN, is still up in the air. We're in the process of delivering the
film to them now,
which means sending mountains of documents, as well as providing ADR
(replacement
dialogue recording to cover the cussing for TV versions) and other sound and
film items.
All standard practice. We expect to be done with this within 30 days.
Cannes, which none of us attended due to fatigue, poverty and related issues,
went pretty
well -- some foreign countries could conceivably see the movie before the U.S..
Weird, eh?
So there you have it. The light at the end of a VERY long tunnel.
More hoopla to come. Feel free to continue to voice your support to New Line.
We'd love it.
And thanks for hanging in.
Flop the nuts.
