The film hasn't been picked up for distribution in the US, so until that happens you likely won't be able to see it outside of film festivals (where it's been making the rounds).

I understand that a biography written by Nolan Dalla (I think, correct me if I'm wrong) is coming out soon.

I wish the book about his life would be published already, it's been in the making for a couple of years. The movie stars Michael Imperioli (Christopher on Sopranos) as Stu. Here's a link about the book:

Hi Steve--- I saw the movie at the film festival here. Very well done but very downbeat--not a poker movie, per se--but a movie about his life and poker was a big part of that.. Michael Imperioli was great ! I doubt if it will get a theatrical release because its so downbeat, but it got good buzz and is definitely an art house movie.
