***UPDATE: I just received a very, very nice email from the film’s sales agents asking me (and everyone else who posted it — it’s everywhere) to pull the trailer (it leaked and is not the final trailer) and let everyone know that here in the states the film will retain the title “Casino Jack.” I’ve also edited the title of this post to reflect that change.
Directed by George Hickenlooper (awesome name) and starring Kevin Spacey and Kelly Preston, “Bagman” (formerly titled “Casino Jack”) is scheduled to hit theatres October 1 and represents Hollywood’s second look at the “true story” of disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff. The first was the documentary “Casino Jack and the United States of Money,” which made no money earlier this year.
This new trailer, with all the voice over, rising and falling, and iconic but overused rock songs, is obviously trying to throw off a “Casino/Goodfellas” vibe. We’ll see. And we’ll see how fair it is too, won’t we? We’ll see if the word “Democrat” is used even less than “Reagan” was in “Charlie Wilson’s Liberal Revisionist Fantasy.”
What would be most helpful, though, is if Big Hollywood could get an advance look at the script. This would allow us to, uhm, (how do the libs put it?) — oh, yeah — blow the whistle one way or the other before hard-working Americans plunk down hard-earned money for something selling itself as an inside look at DC power and corruption when it might really be nothing more than just another piece of leftist Hollywood lies and propaganda.
Yes, a copy of the script would be very helpful.
Very helpful indeed.
Yup.
