Still, Koppelman’s response was good enough to at least get me a little excited about the possibility, albeit slim, of seeing a conclusion to one of my all-time favorite movies. My confidence level for a sequel ever happening isn’t high. Negreanu encouraged Koppelman to “make it happen.” The famous filmmaker didn’t guarantee he’d create “Rounders II,” but he didn’t completely shoot down the idea either. But poker could also use some mainstream attention, and what better way than with a new Matt Damon box office hit? Poker is in good shape as a whole - after all, the 2019 WSOP Main Event had 8,569 entries, second most in its 50-year history. That may be a bit of hyperbole, but there is some truth to it. Can Worm and Mike find their way back to the big screen? Many poker fans hope so.
This needs to happen, stat, for the sake of our game’s future. I also took notice of the post and it got me to thinking, you know what? DNegs is right.
