We don't want it xxx
I'd rather seem them finish the Danny McGoorty movie.
speak for yourself lol
Lol
My late local tourney director and a friend of Lou Butler, , Wayne Norcross doubled for him in closeup shots shooting balls. He was so lazy, he didn't even practice playing pool.
The movie is 40+ years old. Kinda late.

I'm confused about what point you're making. Do you really think the remake would be a good idea? Do you think the movie is trash? What are you trying to say?
Setting this time Derby City Tournament.
I think that if the format of the DCC was used it would just be confusing to the audience. I don't see how the DCC would help the script.
Coburn and Sharif are dead. I think they were the stars that brought viewers to the Baltimore Bullet (although the movie was not a real success).
In my view, connecting the production of a new pool movie to Boxleitner or the concept of the Baltimore Bullet would be a mistake, and any new pool movie effort should be in a different direction. Like McGoorty.
And, the blond is probably 70 years old.

Pool needs a good movie every 10 years. But pool halls are an essential element. A movie can create all the interest in the world, but without the rooms, the newly created fervor lacks an essential environment in which recruits can thrive. The problems are that good pool rooms cannot be created in a day and they require so much more than just money. Without their essential environments, species fail every day.
if you haven't read this book you should. I read it twice and gave it away as a Freebie on AZBilliards. But it would make a good movie
Pretty much how I see it. The only thing I liked about the dud that was Poolhall Junkies is that the pool action took place in poolrooms or bars having pool tables. The Baltimore Bullet was, similarly, a dud that did nothing for pool.
The story of the road hustler that stays under the radar is an obsolete one, and while pool fights hard to overcome its negative image, there is no reason to revisit that story. On the other hand, the poolroom itself can provide high drama without the seediness and is the logical setting for the next pool movie.
During his 60 minutes piece, SVB, by denouncing pool's gambling scene, laid the groundwork for the revitalization of pool's image, but his good work can be undone in a split second by the release of the wrong pool movie.

Drama in a pool room -- I can't imagine. We need a fresh story line, but we should not overlook the fact that attitudes about gambling in the US have evolved over our lifetimes, The transformation that has occurred is nothing short of amazing. When Biloxi voted to legalize casino gambling, we became only the third venue in the US to offer "full on" casino gambling. Because the subsequent expansion was so rapid and widespread, I quit counting the additions about 20 years ago, Casinos are now everywhere. Although my view of gambling never changed (because I grew up here in an area which fostered permissive attitudes toward gambling) many other Americans have apparently softened their views. I mean, there are now bookie outfits advertising on TV, and the NFL has deigned to allow Las Vegas to finally acquire a football team. I cannot begin to count the number of "grandmothers" from all across the country who play "21" here on a recurring basis.
Lou Butler! What an actor!
I hadn't thought of Mr. Boxleitner in years, I didn't know if he was still living. A quick search show not only is he living he's acting in movie and TV shows quite regularly- https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000310/
Some of us have a pretty wide range!
What's that old saying: When a woman is under 18, she is protected by law. When she is over 70, she is protected by nature. Anywhere in-between is fair game.
Like you I love the McGoorty book. But it would be hard to make him into a protagonist in a movie script, perhaps an anti-hero of some sort if you could find something redeeming to make up in his story.
