Ben Affleck, Justin Timberlake set to star in new poker movie

Tuesday, 17 April 2012

Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake are apparently to star in a new poker movie called “Runner Runner”, written by Rounders writers David Levien and Brian Koppelmann. Despite this, the film is not a sequel to the 1999 hit.

Runner Runner is set in the online poker world and focuses on the relationship between a businessman and his young employee. It is well-known that Affleck is a poker fan and he has, alongside Rounders star Matt Damon, competed in the WSOP numerous times.


There is no news about the planned Rounders sequel as of yet, though we don’t expect it until at least 2014. Runner Runner is set to be released next year.
