Looks like you are getting your pool movie....

I think the mentor role would be best played by Larry David. A mentor with no patience. Everything gets him going. From there not being a senior discount on hourly table rates to the people who leave chalk on the rail upside down and poor pool etiquette.
 
I can think of so many who would bring as much attention.

Will Ferrel would be an awesome choice, he is very capable of playing drama.
Bradley Cooper
Daniel Craig
Costner
Benicio Del Toro
Kurt Russel
Downey jr.
Cusack (I would actually love to see this)
Bateman


Kingpin and the rubber hand was a spoof on the hustler. Now you want to spoof the spoof right back into the hustler?
Cusack always plays those straight roles w dead pan humor, and he would be great as an old road dawg.

Michael Shannon instead of old bob

Shannon is not only great in everything he’s done and he’s tall enough to reach the top of the table.
 
They could do a movie about some men that entered a womans tournament and won it.... you know.. keep it recent. :)
