Actors Tye Sheridan (Ready Player One), Tiffany Haddish (Girls Trip), and Willem Dafoe (Spider-Man, The Lighthouse) have joined Oscar Isaac (Triple Frontier, Star Wars: VII-IX) in the upcoming revenge-thriller, The Card Counter. Paul Schrader, known for writing cinematic classics like Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, is writing and directing the film, and has collaborator Martin Scorsese on board to executive produce.

Variety provides the following story description:

In The Card Counter, Isaac portrays a card player on the casino trail who sees a chance at redemption when he’s approached by a young man (Sheridan), seeking help to execute his plan for revenge on a military colonel (Dafoe.) With backing from a mysterious gambling financier (Haddish), the duo go from casino to casino and set their sights on winning a World Series of poker tournament.

This sounds fantastic! It’s an exciting story, and has a great cast and crew attached. I can’t wait to check it out. Does this sound like a movie you’ll enjoy?
