Thanks to all for this amazing info. I have been out of NYC working and apologize for not thanking you all sooner. Any additional comment are very welcome. VKJ

This is tremendous news for the pool world, NYC pool and everyone who loves or even just likes a game of pool now and then. Lastly it will get me back to playing the game I love! I haven't picked up my cue since "Turn The River" finished shooting. It will be great to see all the players I"ve not...

That is a huge and excellent point!!!

Cleary, Very sharp observation. It's what they wanted so I gave it to them. JJ

Hello all, John Juback here. Thanks to Jude and George for your kind words. Jude, I can't tell you how much I miss shooting with you and the gang as well as just hanging out. I wanted to write just a few words to explain to those that are curious why a 'name' player' like Tony was not hired to...

Poolsnark, For what it's worth I'll just say Chris was a dream to work with. I mean he was a great blend of being in charge and knowing what he wanted because he wrote it and also knowing how to give you freedom to do your thing. He also knew the technical side very well. Put that all together...

Yes it is Ray!! Great to hear from you again. Kind of nice it's here at AZ Billiards. I have been doing some interviews and always mention you and Clifton Billiard Lounge. What a great time that was. You winning your 3 World Championships and us guys learning to play in your room. Great...

JAM, I also am looking forward to getting a poster. The one that has Famke sort of sideways getting ready to shoot is great. i was thrilled it's the main poster for the film. I'm not the person to get them from. I am going to find out how to get them and let you know. John

Seb 9, For you to start this thread I thank you. You are a wonderful person in my book. All the very best to you and yours. The pool world and the world in general need more like you. All the best!!!

Hi all John Juback (Duncan)here. First off, thank you George for your review of 'Turn..." in another thread here. I thought you gave an excellent brief description of the film. Glad you had a good time in Boston. As far as Famke's cue it was a Sneake Pete I got for her. It was agreed thats what...

Hi all John Juback (Duncan)here. First off, thank you George for you review. I thought you gave an excellent brief description of the film. Glad you had a good time in Boston. As far as Famke's cue it was a Sneake Pete I got for her. It was agreed thats what her character would use. Famke wore a...

APA7, Yes, I made contact with Ray here after being out of touch for a good while. Caught up a bit. Thanks

Jay, Thanks for this info. Do you know if there is any info about where this perfectionist behavior came from. Was it possible a product of his upbringing? Is anything know about his parents and his childhood years?

Hey Blackjack! I was in a local pool room tonite here in NYC and a friend mentioned that he saw or heard that you have history playing at the Clifton Billiard Lounge when Ray martin owned it. Is this true? I played there for many years before and during and after Ray was the owner. Is it...

Can you point me to other pool forums you belong to or find good to read. I have always found AZ Billiards great and started to wonder if there are others you all like. Thanks

Thank you all for these replys. My intention is to gather info of all kinds on Gene Nagy and sift thru it to see if it would make an interesting dramatic movie. In the 1940's an American playwright named Clifford Odetts wrote a play 'Golden Boy' about a concert musician who in his heart wanted...

I am starting a hunt to put together anything and everything I can find on Gene Nagy. Stories, facts, personal experiences etc., etc., etc. I am assuming there is no footage of him only because I'm guessing it would have been discovered by now. I have done a search here with interesting results...

Thank you all. I will follow all your leads.

Let me add one more example on this point. I am now working on a story that is basicly about a black guy and white guy of specific age and type. They both need to be professional actors and have strong improvisional skills AND be very good pool players. I don't yet know if it will be a play or...

Edd, I'm sorry to inform you that non actors in large film roles will probably not happen. it's an idea I hear a lot but the reality is that as the part gets larger the more you need a professionl actor. Except for very, very rare exceptions you never see non actors in major roles in any movie...
