Oscar Isaac-Led Thriller The Card Counter Sets Release Date -----------------------------------------------------------
Focus Features has officially announced the release date for
Paul Schrader's upcoming revenge thriller feature The Card
Counter, starring Oscar Isaac and Tye Sheridan. The film is
scheduled to arrive in theaters on September 10, 2021, which
pits the film directly against James Wan's newest horror
film Malignant.
The Card Counter's filming last year encountered a few
setbacks and was one of the many major film productions that
was temporarily shut down due to an unnamed actor, who
reportedly has a small role in the role, testing positive
for COVID-19. After nearly four months, the project was able
to resume its production on a few remaining scenes which
only lasted for a week.
In The Card Counter, William Tell's spartan existence on the
casino trail is shattered when he is approached by Cirk, a
vulnerable and angry young man seeking help to execute his
plan for revenge on a military colonel. Tell sees a chance at
redemption through his relationship with Cirk. Gaining
backing from mysterious gambling financier La Linda, Tell
takes Cirk with him on the road, going from casino to casino
until the unlikely trio set their sights on winning the World
Series of Poker in Las Vegas. However, things get difficult
when Tell realizes that trying to keep Cirk on the right path
proves to be an impossible task as he gets dragged back into
the darkness of his past.
The film stars Golden Globe winner Oscar Isaac (Ex Machina,
Star Wars), four-time Academy Award nominee Willem Dafoe
(At Eternity's Gate, Platoon), Tiffany Haddish (Girls' Trip,
The Kitchen), and Tye Sheridan (Ready Player One).
The Card Counter is written and directed by Schrader, who is
best known for writing the screenplays to Martin Scorsese's
iconic films such Taxi Driver, Bringing Out the Dead, The Last
Temptation of Christ, and Raging Bull. Martin Scorsese has
also signed on as an executive producer, reuniting him with
his long-time collaborator Schrader in their fifth project
together. Producers are Braxton Pope and Lauren Mann with
William Olsson and David Wulf serving as executive producers.
