Leonardo DiCaprio a Gambling Movie StarWill Leonardo DiCaprio's star power rake in the profits for his new film?

By Jessica E | Jun 22, 2009

Hollywood mega-star Leonardo DiCaprio is slated to star in an untitled as of yet, film written by the same team who created the cult classic movie Rounders and Ocean's 13 - Brian Koppelman and David Levien.

Both films had a gambling theme to them, and Leo's new film is no exception. This movie is written and will be directed from Costa Rica, exploring the online casino world and the players who frequent them.

Similar to Rounders which starred Edward Norton and Matt Damon as high-stakes underground poker players, the script is one with many turns and thrills as film goer's see the good, bad and nitty gritty of the gambling business.

With Leonardo DiCaprio on board as the lead actor, no other details have been forthcoming about the film, including other cast members. But one thing is for sure, this golden boy tends to pick winning films to brand his name upon, and if Rounders or Ocean's 13 are any indication of success - this new movie will be eagerly anticipated come opening weekend.
