The movie is tentatively entitled "Poker King" and is directed by famous Chinese language director Chan Hing-Kai and Janet Chun. One player who wants a starring role is ten-time WSOP bracelet-winner Johnny Chan, who will also assist with the production.
Chan said: "Poker King has the potential to be much, much bigger than Rounders ever was. Say there are over one billion Chinese speaking people in the world and compare this to the US and their 300 million people you can see that this could be huge. Rounders gave poker a new lease of life in the western world - this could kick start a new poker boom in Asia."
'Poker King' tells the story of two bitter poker rivals competing for world championship glory. The cast will be all-star, A list Chinese actors and pop stars with a cinema release across the region set for later this year.
