Could there be a sequel to classic poker film Rounders? Well recent reports are suggesting that it is definitely a possibility.
Matt Damon was asked about the likelihood of a sequel and said “Maybe someday it will happen. The only reason to do a movie like that would be if we had a great idea. If the two writers suddenly said eureka! We have a great idea. Then everyone involved would be interested in exploring it.”
Encouragingly, it also looks like the original writers are in fact tossing around a few ideas for a sequel to Rounders. It’s been reported that co-writer, David Levien, has said “We’ve been concentrating on Rounders 2 lately; Ideas are percolating. It’s great to know that all of the original players want to come back and do another one.”
When Matt Damon was asked about which of the original cast would be up for a sequel he replied “”Everybody would probably come back. The actors all had a really good time working together. I know Edward would want to do it; we had a blast working together. [Director] John Dahl I’m sure would like to do it.”
Fans of the original movie will be incredibly excited at this news which seems very promising. And while Rounders 2 would be an excellent addition to any poker lovers DVD library – you could always just sign up to one of your favourite poker rooms today and start living the dream yourself!
