The participation of John Hesp in the main WSOP tournament was one of the main stories of this year's World Series, and now it will be filmed.
We got news about plans to turn another poker story into a feature film, namely John Hesp's performance at the WSOP this summer.
64-year-old Hesp fell in love with an entire army of fans with his game and behavior in the casino Rio. The brightness of his personality complements the spectacular happy jacket in patches.
Grandfather of seven grandchildren won this year at the WSOP $ 2.6 million, taking fourth place in the main tournament. In the past, he has not played tournaments more than £ 10 at his local Napoleon casino in Halle.
This story was so popular that now the seller of vans from Bridlington (Yorkshire) reported on the ongoing negotiations with the producers who want to talk about Hespe on the big screen.
Many reasons for celebrations
Hesp said a speech in the casino Napoleons, where now there was a new "Johnny Hespa chair", the upholstery on which was made according to the design of his famous jacket. In this casino, he won his first biggest prize of just over $ 1,000.
Here is what the hero himself said:
"I was contacted by 2 or 3 producers while I was in Vegas, including guys from Hollywood, but I chose a British company." The proposal is fixed on paper, and my lawyers are now settling all the details. Everything is ready for 90 percent. We laughed a little and joked over who can play me. "Personally, I prefer George Clooney."
Fans of poker hope that the film will be released on the screen as soon as possible, especially after the film about Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott has remained in the projects. Well, who really can not wait, pay attention to "The game at Molly" - the picture will appear in theaters in November.
