Burt Reynolds Deals Poker MovieYou know its a slow news day when your top stories involve Tara Reid and Burt Reynolds…

Burt Reynolds will star with and Bret Harrison in the poker movie Deal for writer-director Gil Cates Jr. The movie revolves around an ex-gambler who teaches a hot-shot college student how to “play the player” vs. just the cards. But after the two have a bitter falling out, they find themselves competing against each other in the World Poker Tour championships. (Sounds an awful lot like The COlor of Money doesn’t it?!)

Shooting begins April 3rd in New Orleans. Shannon Elizabeth and Charles Durning will also star with real-life poker players Phil “The Unabomber” Laak, Antonio “The Magician” Esfandari and Vince Van Patton also making appearances.

Reynolds’ most recent credits include The Dukes of Hazzard and The Longest Yard. Harrison currently stars on TV’s The Loop.
