Jake's going back to his roots- indie roots.
According to
The Hollywood Reporter Jake is going to be on the road and headed to the tables. Reports are that he is going star in
Mississippi Grind.
The focus of the movie is two gambling addicts enabling each other on a road
trip through the South "with dreams of recouping everything they've lost on bad bets." Jake's going play the younger of the pair, while
the elder — which
THR dubs "a plum role for Hollywood's fortysomething set" — has yet to be cast.
With a budget of less than $10 million it looks more like intimate kind of movie with short shooting schedule. Will Jake try to squeeze it after his play wraps and before the end of the year? Or will the Grind be Jake's first project of 2013?
Jake's got some work to do for this one. He's a big bag of tells.
Maybe he needs to get someone to show him how to do a legit poker face.
It looks the movie is more about the dynamic of the two pair than exploits of one or the other. Casting the right person to work off of Jake is key to his success as well as the movie's.
So who do you see as part of this betting pair?
