Keep us updated on it. I assume it's not going to be an overly publicized movie? I'll be up for a copy when he releases it..

If true, surely someone else is talking about it?

There are often ads in the local papers for extras, if there is a movie filming in a town. Someone might check the papers and other advertising communities, like online job searches, to see if they're looking for extras or background workers of any kind. That would be good proof and it might even give a name of the film, too.

Keep us posted!

Sounds like he?s doing a documentary on two road players. Not a bad thing, but not a blockbuster movie with top Hollywood stars in it either, that would give pool a shot in the arm. That's why I never got exited about the Jennifer Barretta movie with her playing the staring roll. Pool needs a movie with big-name actors in it. Johnnyt

Big name actors can't pull of the part as a pool hustler and make it believable. At least not to someone who knows the real deal. It needs to be done by an actual player. Just my opinion. Paul Newman did a fantastic job though in the Hustler but you could also tell he wasn't really a player when at the table if you understand what I'm sayin.

A blockbuster pool movie only needs the general public to believe...pool players are going to watch it anyhow. Johnnyt

Don't you think that if Hollywood thought there was money in a movie about a female pool player played by a pro player they would get Jeanette Lee? At least everyone knows her and she has done some TV work. Johnnyt
