The Folks behind Borsalino Films (whose only other project seems to be something called “Nazi Zombies”) have announced they’ve got the rights to the book “Gambling Man” by Gary Green and are hoping to cast De Niro for the lead. The announcement read: “The plot line will be nothing short of epic, like the book, pulling no punches as it traces the boss’s personal escapades through the history of the casino world from the last days of Meyer Lansky to Green’s adventures as a Donald Trump Vice President.”
Unfortunately no screenwriters or directors have been mentioned so far, it was probably because the rights were only recently acquired, but it seems as though everyone involved is looking for a huge success. Lu Nay, of Puji Capital, one of the financial backers of the project stated “De Niro is certainly the most recognized of the actors we are eyeing for the lead in this landmark investment; but there are several in contention and we have not even begun official talks.”
