It seems that the all-time great actor Robert De Niro is wanted for the main role in the upcoming adaption of Gambling Man.
Based on the gambling memoirs of Gary Green, the rights have been purchased by Borsalino Films and they want Robert de Niro in the main role.
Here is a synopsis of the book taken from Amazon 
“ Inside the world of gambling’s most colorful (and controversial) modern day casino boss. Advice, lessons, history and wisdom for casino players, operators, vendors, analysts and investors. Like its over-the-top author, this book pulls no punches. Quickly pointing out that he is in the gambling racket and not in the gaming industry, Green entertains, educates, lectures, chastises, and praises the operatives, history, and processes of his racket. Through a series of personal anecdotes and stories, one of gambling s most colourful (and controversial) modern day casino bosses shows what works and doesn t work inside casinos, the games, the investments, and the regulations.”
De Niro can be seen in the upcoming movies American Hustle and Grudge Match, the latter sees him going up against Sylvester Stallone in a boxing comedy.
