Kevin Costner will be dancing with Aaron Sorkin on his directorial debut.
The “Hidden Figures” star is in talks to join The Mark Gordon Co’s “Molly’s Game” opposite Jessica Chastain and Idris Elba, says Deadline.
Based on Molly Bloom’s memoir, it “centers on Bloom, a young, charismatic Olympic-class skier who ran the world’s most exclusive high-stakes poker game for a decade before being arrested in the middle of the night by 17 FBI agents wielding automatic weapons. Her players included Hollywood royalty, sports stars, business titans and finally, unbeknownst to her, the Russian mob. Her only ally is her criminal defense lawyer (Elba), who learns that there’s much more to Molly than the tabloids lead us to believe.”
Shooting begins next month on the film.
