This September, a new poker-themed movie, Dead Money, will hit the screens, bringing fresh drama and action to the genre. Produced by Samuel Goldwyn Films and directed by Luc Walpoth, this crime thriller features a mix of poker excitement and intense storytelling. The film stars Emile Hirsch, known for Into the Wild and Alpha Dog, alongside India Eisley, familiar from The Secret Life of the American Teenager.
Dead Money centers on a home poker game that spirals out of control when armed robbers invade. Hirsch plays Andy, a professional poker player, who, along with his girlfriend Chloe (played by Eisley), finds himself in a deadly situation. As the stakes rise, Andy must play the game of his life—not just for money, but for survival.
The movie’s trailer offers a glimpse of the tension-filled poker action and crime-driven plot. Unlike many poker films that focus on the strategic and psychological aspects of the game, Dead Money adds an element of real danger, echoing real-life incidents of poker game robberies.
Set to release on September 13, Dead Money will be available in theaters and on video-on-demand platforms. Fans of poker and cinema can anticipate how this film will compare to others in the genre, such as Rounders and Molly’s Game. With rumors of a potential Rounders sequel in the works, Dead Money adds another layer to the growing list of poker-inspired movies.
