They already describe this project as “stylized crime thriller” with great cast. Can we blame them? Check this out: Christian Slater, Gary Oldman and Dane Cook have signed on to star in Michael Winnick's upcoming project titled Guns, Girls and Gambling.
Ok, we do know that nobody actually expected to see Cook's name on this list, but still, let's give him a chance. At least he's got himself some good company…
What we know about this movie is that “the story throws Elvis impersonators, Indians, modern cowboys, a 6-foot-tall blond assassin, a frat boy, a corrupt sheriff and a prostitute into a chase for a priceless American Indian artifact stolen during a poker game at an Indian casino.”
Slater will play “just an average guy who gets incredibly drunk and stumbles into an Elvis impersonator contest', while Oldman will play the top Elvis contender.
Cook, on the other hand, will play the corrupt sheriff. Ok, that could work out just fine, don't you think?
Christian Slater recently starred in ABC's short-lived “The Forgotten” while Gary Oldman is coming off a bad-guy turn in The Book of Eli and will shoot The Girl With the Red Riding Hood this year.
Dane Cook is best known from My Best Friend's Girl where he starred alongside Kate Hudson.
So, get ready for Guns, Girls & Gambling, a crime thriller from writer-director Michael Winnick, man who was in charge for the 2007 indie thriller Shadow Puppets.
Freefall Films, run by Henry Boger is producing and financing the project. Shooting is expected to start next month, on July 6. We'll keep an eye on this project, make sure you stay tuned!
