Howdy.
Got a heads up earlier that the trailer for the up coming movie ’21′ is out. I raced to the link as this movie is prominent on my ‘movies that I will chop off a leg to see now’ list.
The movie is about a group of young university students who make a mint because they deveoped a system to use playing Black Jack in Casino’s. Based on a true story, which first came to my attention through the book ‘Bringing Down The House‘ by Ben Mezrich.
I was right up for it too because when I first heard that they were making a film adaptaion of the book Masi Oka (Hiro from Heroes) was attached to it. But, alas, he is no longer a part of the movie. Anyway, feast yer eyes on the trailer:

Also check out a book called the Newtonian Casino about the same thing.
Think the book will be getting re-read soon.
I read it a fair bit ago too. Think I’ll be waiting for the movie. Don’t want it to be too fresh in my head if you get me.
