According to the latest reports, Vince Vaughn is the latest name that will join the cast which already includes Rebecca Hall, Bruce Willis, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Justin Timberlake and Joshua Jackson.
Frears will direct from a script by D.V. DeVincentis, and as you all remember, the script is actually based on the memoir of Beth Raymer.
Rebecca Hall plays Raymer, who chronicled her years working in the world of Vegas sports gambling, Bruce Willis plays Raymer’s mentor Dink Heimowitz, character described as “lovable, irascible, and big-bellied” while Catherine Zeta-Jones is set to star as Heimowitz’ wife.
