Matt Damon Wants a Rounders Sequel.
Matt Damon has indicated his wish to follow the 1998 cult masterpiece poker movie Rounders, which also starred Edward Norton, with a sequel. Playing Mike McDermott in the movie, Damon thinks the sequel has great potential given the major changes in the poker scene since the first movie came out.
A Sequel Would Look at the Development of Poker
Damon admits that the poker environment has changed dramatically during the past 25 years. A possible sequel would provide the chance to investigate these developments and how they impact the environment and the people the protagonists live among. Though rights concerns could provide difficulties, Damon has discussed the prospect of a sequel with original writers David Levien and Brian Koppelman.
Rounders 2 Might Turn Out as a Streaming Hit
Rounders may not have been a box office success when it first came out, but it has now become a beloved piece in Damon's filmography. Given the prominence of streaming platforms like Netflix and Prime Video, the film's ongoing appeal points to a sequel maybe finding a broader audience.
Star Power of Damon and Norton Might Attract New Audiences
The fact that Damon and Norton have grown to be quite well-known performers with strong backgrounds could draw a bigger audience including those who might not have seen the original movie. This could lead to Rounders 2's release being more successful than that of the first movie.
A Sequel Provides Many Stories Worth Your Interest.
The considerable period elapsed since the first movie would give plenty of opportunity to investigate the development of the characters and the changes in the poker scene. Damon, Norton, and the writers have the ability to produce a gripping sequel based on the ideas and characters of the first movie.
