[magoosh]

pre-ordered

[PowellPressburger]

Went to the movies last week and watched this one blindly. I hadn't heard of it ever. I was just looking to see what was playing and saw Jessica Chastain and then the fact it was written and directed by Sorkin so I was game.

It was highly entertaining. Chastain is so good, this and Miss Sloane you just love her.

I will buy this when it comes out. Never a dull moment. loved it.

Any idea on a UK blu ray release yet? As only seems to have one down for the States.

Universal has always released STX films on blu (besides Valerian which was a bt complicated as studio releases go)

[JonhWick]

I'm interest this topic

[ambientcafe]

Just saw this as well, and wholeheartedly agree with all the other positive posts. And it's unfortunate that Chastain did not receive an Oscar nom for her impeccable performance

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., Jan. 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- From Aaron Sorkin, the mind behind The Social Network, Moneyball, and The West Wing, comes the astounding true story of 26-year-old Molly Bloom, who through sheer nerve, wits, and acumen builds an empire and takes over the ultimate boys club: exclusive high-stakes poker - in Molly's Game, arriving on Digital March 27, 2018 and on Blu-rayTM, DVD, and On Demand April 10, 2018 from STXfilms and Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Nominated for an Academy Award® for Best Adapted Screenplay, this sensational film is "one of the most radically entertaining things Aaron Sorkin has ever written" (David Ehrlich, Indiewire) and "Unendingly satisfying" (Richard Lawson, Vanity Fair). Molly's Game on Blu-rayTM, DVD and Digital comes with special bonus content that takes viewers deeper into the life of Molly Bloom and the making of the film.

Two-time Academy Award® nominee, Jessica Chastain (The Help, Zero Dark Thirty), delivers a powerhouse performance as the tenacious Molly Bloom and is joined by an outstanding cast including Golden Globe® winner Idris Elba (Star Trek: Beyond, Beasts of No Nation), Academy Award® nominee Kevin Costner (Hidden Figures, Man of Steel), Michael Cera ("Arrested Development," Superbad) Jeremy Strong (The Big Short, Detroit), Chris O'Dowd (Bridesmaids, "Girls") and Bill Camp ("The Night Of," Hostiles).

Written and directed by Academy Award® winner Aaron Sorkin, Molly's Game is based on the true story of Molly Bloom, an Olympic-class skier who ran the world's most exclusive high-stakes poker game for a decade before becoming a target of the FBI. Her players included Hollywood royalty, sports stars, business titans and, unbeknownst to her, the Russian mob. Her only ally was criminal defense lawyer Charlie Jaffey (Idris Elba), who learned that there was much more to Molly than the tabloids led us to believe.

In my top 3 of 2017. Glad they are using the theatrical poster.

[Leonidas King]

No Rotten Tomatoes logo on the front?

[Mandalorian]

Did a double feature at the theater with I, Tonya today and Molly’s game was great I thought it felt a tad long but other than that it was great. I thought Idris Elba was great in this and Jessica Chastain man she’s hot!
