Nicholas Cage to Play Poker Legend

The man they call Amarillo Slim has always been a character in the poker world, and it seems he will be a character in an upcoming movie of the same name. Thomas Preston Jr, who picked up his nickname in his early poker years, was one of the first poker pros to implement self marketing, a skill that seems to go hand in hand with the profession these days. The upcoming movie is rumored to have Nicholas Cage play the poker legend, something that Slim has said he is agreeable to, after a meeting between the two.
