Is this one also starring Taylor Kitsch and Rhianna?
Oh man, I thought this was an adaptation of the board game…
The pitch was something like: “It’s CHESS meets CHECKERS”.
Alex Beh can win a game of Connect Four in only three moves.
Scale plus 10.
I came to the comments to rant about how stupid making a movie about backgammon was, and then I decided I should read the report first…
Good point, and the marketing folks ought to take note of your first impression
Agree here. Need to be very careful with misconceptions on this one.
Gonna be brilliant – the novella is awesome
