A “Star Wars” reunion in the cards
A film we mentioned a few months back has found a home.
“Star Wars” trio Nick Gillard, Samuel L.Jackson and Hayden Christensen have teamed for “Poker Night”, a new film which Gillard directs, and the former fallen Jedi co-star.
Icon Entertainment Intl. has acquired worldwide rights to “Poker Night,” a thriller centers on a rookie detective (Christensen) who wakes to find himself strapped to a chair in a dim and filthy basement. Cop’s faceless abductor is a vicious serial killer who is mercilessly torturing his captive both physically and mentally.
Stunt co-ordinator extraordinaire Gillard will helm from a screenplay by Greg Francis. Marina Grasic, John J. Kelly, Francis and Tove Christensen are producing.
Icon will retain distrib rights in the U.K. and Oz and is offering up other rights at AFM, says Variety.
