Filed under: Drama, Sports, Casting

nicolas_cage_8.jpgEverybody has a shifty cousin with a gambling problem. Thanks to ours, Pplayer, we now know that Nicolas Cage has been cast in a movie based on the memoirs of Amarillo Slim Preston, "the greatest gambler who ever lived." The film, to be scripted by Stephen J. Rivele and Christopher Wilkinson, the team behind biopics Nixon and Ali, will be directed by Milos Forman. Forman, too, is a bio-veteran; he's helmed Amadeus, The People Vs. Larry Flynt, and The Man on the Moon. The film will shoot after Cage completes work on Ghost Rider.
