I'm not sure if this was talked about here yet but there is a new blackjack movie coming out called "21". It is based on the story of the very famous MIT Blackjack team. If you don't know who the MIT team is they are a group of students and there professor who perfect the art of card counting and go to Vegas and use the High-Low card counting system to win big money. Here is the trailer:

I can't wait until this comes out.
Anyway, I hope at least a few people see this post since it's so late. I'm gonna catch some sleep. I'll check this thread tomorrow

MIT is the Massachusetts institute of technology. (i hope im right about that one)

its considered to be one one of the top schools in the country, somewhere in the top 5 or so. anyone accepted is no less than a bonified genius.

and yes this movie is going to own

hey guys its actually based of the book bringing down the house but they changed the name to 21 so there would not be any confusion with the movie with queen latifa and steve whatever his name is

Sweet! I love Kevin Spacey!

The storyline seems kind of classic though. People get an idea, it goes big, falls apart, drama all over the place, and then somehow there's a happy ending. Well I'm assuming there's a happy ending so I don't know. Although if it's based on a true story it's just that much better :)

It's based on this book I'm reading right now called "Bringing Down the House," by Ben Mezrich. Good read. Pick it up.

Actually, there was. This movie, at least what has been shown so far, is identical to "The Last Casino."

Now, they may both be based on the same book though, which essentially means that 21 is more or less a remake of The Last Casino.


I have not bothered to look up if they are both meant to be based off the book, or if The Last Casino was an unauthorized adaptation or something, but I haven't seen any mention connecting them, but like I said, this post is the most I've put into the subject, lol.
