New Stu Ungar Biopic in the Works

The image “http://www.lvlife.com/2002/05/images/StuUnger.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.Warner Brothers Pictures will produce the life story of late poker legend, Stuey Ungar.

Despite his death, Stuey Ungar and his legend remain in the consciousness of poker fans and players everywhere. It's as though his ghost reminds players of the greatness a person can achieve and the pain that can follow it. Stuey Ungar's life story was amazing and Hollywood is taking notice yet again. There has been a movie about Ungar's life already, but interest in his story has been re-kindled by the recent release of the book, One of a Kind: The Rise and Fall of Stuey 'The Kid' Ungar, and the increasing boom in poker's popularity. WSOP media director Nolan Dalla is one of the authors of the book, and really the man whose undying passion for the subject matter led to the release of the book.

Stuey came out of nowhere to beat the best players in the world, winning back-to-back WSOPs in his mid-20s. He made an estimated $30 million playing the game, but his self-destructive personality left him with next to nothing when he died in 1998 from the results of years of drug abuse.

Weekly tournaments with guaranteed prize pots of up to $100,000 at Bodog, where the world plays poker.
