I've been hearing things about this movie for years and have been waiting for another good poker flick. I've tried the internet and found nothing. I'm hoping someone will have the inside scoop.

There's a "The Big Blind" on imdb that was made 4 years ago, doesn't look like it was ever released.

Hi. I understand the movie has a distribution deal and will be released in November. There was a preview in LA area a month or so ago.

I've been ignoring this post until a moment ago - isn't this the movie which was filmed at Elsinore? I just got an invitation to a showing about 6 weeks ago for a poker movie which I understood was the Elsinore one. Let me know - if it's the same one I'll ask - I know a couple of people who were in that one.

Stuey has not yet (to my knowledge) found a distribution deal. I work in the motion picture industry and have been tracking it for some time.

It hasn't, and it looks like the filmmakers will be attempting to release it themselves theatrically. Always a dicey proposition.

Haven't seen it, but probably. Too downbeat, no well-known enough stars, etc. It ain't easy getting smaller, independent films open, trust me, I know.

"The Big Blind" was screened at the Temecula International Film Festival in mid September. I saw the films and wrote a review about it that will appear in a future Card Player column.

The film has a web site; it's www.thebigblind.com, and you can get additional information about it there.

Hope this helps...

Looks retarded. If they added nudity I could see it showing up on late night skinamax.
