Since Se7en my appreciation of Kevin Spacey went through the roof he is an actor I have alot of respect for simply down to the diverse roles he plays from creepy psychotic biblical killer to gerty to older man fantasising with younger women to comedy and now politic lobbyist in CASINO JACK!
Below is the second trailer for the movie based on Jack Abramoff an American political Lobbyist who embezzled millions with his protege in numerous schemes that influenced so many people leading to some of the biggest corruption since George W Bush was in power stateside as well as murder. This movie is I would say inspired rather than true to the core as some of the things the pair get upto can be so extreme its unbelievable but this just looks a great movie and im sure Spacey and Co had alot of fun making it too.
The movie has recently premiered at Toronto Film Festival and was picked up by Weinstein Company with the movie due for release Stateside December but no word on the UK/Irish release date either. Casino Jack stars also Barry Pepper, Kelly Preston, Rachelle Lefevre, Eric Schweig, Jon Lovitz and Graham Greene
Synopsis:Two–time Academy Award Winner Kevin Spacey gives the performance of a lifetime in CASINO JACK, a riotous new film starring Spacey as a man hell bent on acquiring all that the good life has to offer. He plays in the same game as the highest of rollers and resorts to awe–inspiring levels of conning, scheming and fraudulent antics to get what he wants. Inspired by true events that are too over–the–top for even the wildest imaginations to conjure, CASINO JACK lays bare the wild excesses and escapades of Jack Abramoff. Aided by his business partner Michael Scanlon (Barry Pepper), Jack parlays his clout over some of the world’s most powerful men with the goal of creating a personal empire of wealth and influence. When the two enlist a mob–connected buddy (Jon Lovitz) to help with one of their illegal schemes, they soon find themselves in over their heads, entrenched in a world of mafia assassins, murder and a scandal that spins so out of control that it makes worldwide headlines.
